The , which originally dealt with amnesty, is expected to go another week without being voted on by the , according to leaders of left-wing parties.

This is the fourth postponement after the proposal was processed under an emergency regime approved by the plenary on the 17th of last month — since that moment, the rapporteur (Solidariedade-SP) has come, a promise that did not materialize.

Although some deputies still say they hope that the project will be included on the agenda, the president of the Chamber, (Republicanos-PB), has already announced 16 projects that should be voted on this week, and the sentence reduction project is not on the list.

The proposals cited by Motta deal with childhood and education, in reference to Children’s Day and Teachers’ Day.

The reduction of sentences under discussion should benefit both the former president (), in the trial of the coup plot, and those arrested and convicted of the 2023 attacks.

Party leaders opposed to voting on sentence reductions say they heard from Motta’s decision that the project will not be voted on this week. When contacted by the report, the Chamber President’s office stated that the agenda for this Tuesday (14) has already been defined, but did not clarify whether the amnesty could still be included.

the proposal, which was stitched together with the (Federal Supreme Court), faces resistance in the PL and PT. Bolsonaro’s party still publicly defends a broad amnesty. Lula’s PT is even against reducing sentences.

In addition to this divergence, there is a scenario of uncertainty in .

“No one even knows about this project. It [Paulinho] never publicized what he is doing. In the Senate, nobody knows this, nobody talks about it. This amnesty thing, in my opinion, is a dead letter, it’s not going anywhere,” he told Sheet Senator Otto Alencar (PSD-BA), president of the Senate Constitution and Justice Committee.

The deputies also demand a position from the president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (União Brasil-AP), but this definition has not yet occurred.

Another obstacle to advancing the matter is, according to parliamentarians, the fact that the final text has not yet been presented by Paulinho, who has been collecting suggestions from various benches and also from the leadership of the Chamber and the Senate. The rapporteur has already said that he can present his opinion this week.

As shown by SheetPaulinho has discussed with the centrão, the group that currently commands , a text that reduces (PL)’s prison time in a closed regime to 6 years and 10 months.

According to deputies, the progress of the project is hampered by the lack of votes in the Chamber. that the text would only be voted on when there was approval from the senators, to avoid the same end as.

In recent weeks, the rapporteur, obtaining support from 9 of them for his text — totaling 206 deputies, less than half of the Chamber.

After meeting with the rapporteur on the 30th, the president of the PL, which means reduced sentences, not amnesty.

The phrase from the president of Bolsonaro’s party was, according to those who attended the meeting, that he could not be against a project that would mean the release of people currently arrested for the attacks on the headquarters of the three Powers on January 8, 2023.
