Allies of the former president (), who is under house arrest, promoted on Tuesday (7) a walk in the Esplanade of Ministries, in Brasilia, in defense of amnesty to the condemned of the coup acts of 8 January 2023. The group rejected the idea of feather dosimetry, currently proposed in the House of Representatives.
The procession came from the Brasilia National Library at 5 pm and, about an hour later, reached the vicinity of the National Congress. The act ended around 6:30 pm.
In addition to the pastor and the president of the PL, are present former first lady, senator and Renato Bolsonaro, who is the former president’s brother. Protesters carry flags from Brazil, Israel and the United States, and ask for “wide and unrestricted” amnesty.
“Amnesty is constitutional. Lula himself voted in favor of amnesty in 1988. Lula, FHC, Alckmin and Temer. Fear that now comes with this dosimetry chat. Dosimetry is not constitutional. Dosimetry will not erase the past of these people, will not end pain,” said Michelle.
Amnesty is the main agenda of pockets today. Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison by the (Supreme Court). Another seven defendants were sentenced to penalties ranging from 2 to 26 years in prison.
About 1,200 people were sentenced to the Supreme Court or closed agreements with the prosecutor for the 2023 episode. Balance Sheet released by the Court in August reported that 29 people were preemptively arrested and 112 served definitive prison – other 44 were under house arrest.
Tuesday’s act was summoned by Malafaia.
The idea is to counteract left protests against the agenda that occurred across the country on the 21st.
The left -wing demonstrations featured shows by artists such as Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil in Rio de Janeiro and helped bury the armor PEC and cool the moves by amnesty.
They were called, a few days in advance, in at least 33 cities across the country, including 22 capitals, by the fronts without fear and popular Brazil, linked to PSOL and PT and bringing movements such as the MST (Landless Rural Workers Movement) and the MTST (Semteto Workers Movement).
“We can’t leave the left with the last word in that artist clowning of mixing themes, right? To deceive the people. So, at least, let’s take a walk,” said Malafaia, who said she waited at least 5,000 people on the Esplanade.
The option was for the shape of a walk on a weekday, not a demonstration on Sunday, because there was just time to articulate a new large protest.
According to Malafaia, the mayor, the mayor, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB) is expected to guide the proposal this week.
But the bill reported by Paulinho da Força (Solidarity-SP) and which has the support of Motta deals with the reduction of penalties, not forgiveness. Upon arriving at the act, PL President Valdemar Costa Neto told Folha that the way to approve the amnesty is to “put the people on the street.”
In calling for the walk, Deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) published a photo of Lula from 1979 with a t-shirt written “Amnesty”.
“What a shirt of this guy !!” wrote the parliamentarian. The image has been replicated by pockets to force a parallel between the amnesty after the military dictatorship and now those who participated in the attempted coup and the coup attacks on the headquarters of the three powers in Brasilia.
The pockets had already promoted a walk in the amnesty in Brasilia in May with the participation of Bolsonaro.
The monitor of the political debate of CEBRAP (Brazilian Center for Analysis and Planning) and the NGO More in Common estimated based on aerial images and said there were about 4,000 people at the peak -time demonstration.
