The mayor, (-PB), guided, on the night of Wednesday (17), the urgent request for an amnesty project for convicted by coup. If approved, accelerates the processing of the proposal.
The vote was defined at a Motta meeting with party leaders, who took place shortly before the plenary session, and represents a defeat to the Government (PT), which tried to contain the advance of the agenda. 257 votes are required among 513 deputies to approve the urgency.
“Brazil needs pacification and a future built on dialogue and respect bases. The country needs to walk. We have in the house distinct visions and divergent interests about the events of. It is up to the plenary, sovereign, decide,” Motta wrote on social networks.
The text that will serve as the basis for the vote, however, is not a proposal of amnesty sponsored by, which establishes a broad forgiveness and which would include (PL). The party’s intention is even that a.
As the broad amnesty has opposition from much of the center and the entire left, the agreement between the PL and Motta was to vote the urgency of another project that also deals with amnesty and focus on demonstrations, filed by Deputy Marcelo Crivella (Republicans-RJ).
The approval of the urgency, argue the deputies, does not mean adherence to the text. After the definition of a rapporteur, all the content of the proposal can be changed. In this sense, the vote on urgency on Wednesday only inaugurates a new clash between pockets, centrão and left by the content of the story.
“We will today guide the urgency of a Bill of Deputy Marcelo Crivella to discuss the issue. If approved, a rapporteur will be appointed so that we can arrive as soon as possible to a substitute text that finds the support of the large majority of the house,” added Motta in the networks.
In starting the session, Motta said he had no “commitment to any agenda that brings even more divergence and polarization to the country”.
“I have the full conviction that the House of Representatives […] will have the ability to build this solution, which seeks national pacification, respect for institutions, commitment to legality and also taking into account the humanitarian conditions of the people who are involved […]. So that the House of Representatives can give a great sign that is committed to Brazil, with our institutions and always seek the best way through our democracy, “he added.
PT leader Lindbergh Farias (RJ) said that those in favor of amnesty “are being accomplices of a continued coup.” “Today is a day of shame of this parliament,” he added.
The request to bring the project direct to the plenary, without passing the commissions, is authored by the leader of Somos, Rodrigo Gambale (SP), with the support of the leaders of Republicans, PP, PSDB, PL and União Brasil.
With last week, the pressure from Bolsonarists increased to make the theme guided. In addition, Centrão and the governor of, (Republicans), began to articulate for the approval of the amnesty, in a gesture to Bolsonaro in the expectation that the former president bless the presidential candidacy of the governor.
While pockets insist on amnesty for forgiving Bolsonaro, centrão leaders claim that there is no majority for it and argue that this proposal would end up barred in the Senate or the Supreme Court, and be vetoed by President Lula.
The reduction of penalties, which could even include Bolsonaro-the idea is to prevent the former president from serving a sentence in Papuda and, instead, is in house arrest because of his age and health. Articulated by Motta, A, Senate and Plateau.
The text of Crivella Amnesty, since October 30, 2022, “all who participated in demonstrations with political and/or electoral motivation, or supported them, by any means, including contributions, donations, logistics support or services and publications in social media and platforms.”
On another front, the Lula government and the center sought an agreement to overthrow the urgency of the broad amnesty. The idea was for the government to help approve the century’s interest in exchange for a majority against the amnesty.
In the vote of the Armage PEC, the government released the deputies (did not vote yes or no). Already, despite having given 12 votes in favor. For Centrão leaders, the commitment of the petistas in favor of the proposal was insufficient, which led to retaliation with the vote on the urgency of amnesty.
On Tuesday (16), Motta of Amnesty. He also reported federal government members of his decision.
The Planalto Palace has been active to curb this theme in Congress. the government threatens to review nominations for federal positions of politicians who position themselves in favor of amnesty. In addition, this strategy also involves payment of parliamentary amendments.
