Group of pockets began on Tuesday afternoon, 7, an act in defense of amnesty to former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and others convicted of attempted coup. Named “Walk through the Amnesty, the demonstration runs through the Esplanade of Ministries towards Congress.
Early on the protest one of the presenters admitted that the audience was not large. “We know it’s a Tuesday. We didn’t intend to bring thousands of people. We wanted to send a message through the eyes of Brasiliense,” said the speaker from the top car.
One of the first to speak was Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), son of the former president. “It has not been easy. Just as he (Bolsonaro) has not lowered his head, we will not lower our head. You, besides witnesses, are active actors in another act by amnesty so that Congress listens to our voice, see the colors we carry,” said the senator.

Despite being in the process of negotiating a project that reduces sentences of convicts, without general amnesty granting as the scholars argue, the senator chose to tell the protesters that the full forgiveness project is to be approved in Congress.
“We are a step towards being able to approve this amnesty,” he said.
The parliamentarians who spoke joined the proposal of dosimetry to reduce the penalties of the convicts.

“We don’t want anything. We don’t want anyone. We want Bolsonaro. We don’t want dosimetry. We don’t want a penalty reduction. In Brazil there have been a lot of amnesties,” said Mrs Bia Kicis (PL-DF).
One of the supporters is Pastor Silas Malafaia, who is investigated by the Federal Police (PF) in an inquiry in the Federal Supreme Court (STF) for coercion in the course of the process that condemned Bolsonaro to 27 years and 3 months in prison for attempted coup.
In a summary video of the supporters for the walk, Malafaia mocked the demonstrations held on the left in September that filled the streets of various capitals of the country with the agenda against the amnesty and the proposal of amendment to the Constitution (PEC) of the armor, which was approved in the House with the support of Bolsonarism, but filed in the Senate.

The pastor mocked the fact that the acts of the left had counted on the presence of great artists of Brazilian popular music, which, in the assessment of the Bolsonarist field, was what propelled the demonstrations. Malafaia stated in the summons video for the march on Tuesday that “the artists are the families of the wronged people.”
“Now is the final stretch. Amnesty will be voted in the House and the deputies need to see our strength and voice,” said Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) in the video in which he tries to attract supporters to walk on the Esplanade.
As the Estadão column showed, pockets announced the walk as a modest act that does not intend to rival the recent manifestations of the left. The realization during a business day already denotes that there will be no large masses in Brasilia. According to Malafaia, there was recently to organize a big act on a Sunday, as usually occurs.

However, they use the fact that at the beginning of this year they had a similar march that brought together a considerable number of supporters also on a business day.
The allies of turning to the left at least equalizing their ability to occupy the streets in different states against the armor PEC and were forced to vote in favor of the government -sponsored income tax exemption project, which should be one of their main trumpks in next year’s electoral race.
Added to this, Bolsonarism observes an alternative project to the broad, general and unrestricted amnesty to gain traction. The expectation is that the text that goes the vote will be under the rapporteur of federal deputy Paulinho da Força (Solidarity-SP), which should propose reduction of penalties rather than forgiveness. If this happens, Bolsonaro would remain stuck, but for less time.

In another recent setback, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) was able to circumvent the blockade by federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) and influencer Paulo Figueiredo to access the White House, and had his first dialogue with US President Donald Trump.
The interlocution channel open between the two leaders is negative for pockets because, in addition to opening a margin for Lula to reverse American tariffs, Trump has made successive praise to the figure of the Brazilian president. As a result, Bolsonaro’s allies see their main ally with potential to fusage Lula themselves open to dialogue and negotiation.
