Deputies from the center received more than half of the votes to approve the bill that benefits the former president () and others convicted in the coup plot and the January 8 attacks.
The proposal, called the Dosimetry PL, was approved in the early hours of this Wednesday (10) in the Chamber, with which there are ministries in the government (PT): 122 votes, 42% of the total.
The main text had 291 votes in favor, of which 167 (or 57%) came from União Brasil, , , PSD and MDB, the acronyms that make up the bloc known as centrão.
Of these, the last two have three ministries in Esplanada: respectively, Carlos Fávaro (Agriculture), Alexandre Silveira (Mines and Energy) and André de Paula (Fishing), and Jader Filho (Cities), Renan Filho (Transport) and Simone Tebet (Planning and Budget).
Both voted overwhelmingly in favor of the proposal, totaling 49 votes.
The PP of minister André Fufuca (Sport) and the Republicans, the party of minister Silvio Costa Filho (Ports and Airports), but also of the president of the Chamber, (PB) and the governor of São Paulo and former Bolsonaro minister, Tarcísio de Freitas, also strongly supported the text.
These two acronyms add another 71 votes in favor of reducing the sentences for the coup plotters.
PSB and PDT, which also have ministries in Esplanada, cast one vote each to reduce the penalty for a coup — the two parties, however, voted overwhelmingly against the proposal.
União Brasil and PP recently broke with Lula, although they maintain positions in the government. The first expelled Celso Sabino, who remained in the Tourism portfolio, while the second keeps Fufuca in Sports, while working for the opposition.
PT, PSOL and PC do B were entirely against the text.
The PSB, the party of vice-president and Minister of Industry Geraldo Alckmin, advised against the dosimetry project. Even so, deputy Jonas Donizette (SP), future leader of the party, voted in favor of the proposal.
The same happened with Flávia Moraes (PDT-GO), the only one from her party to endorse the proposal.
The PL, the former president’s party, voted almost entirely in favor of reducing the sentences of the coup plotters, if not for one vote: from Bolsonaro’s former Minister of Citizenship and Social Development, Osmar Terra (RS).
In União Brasil of the president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (AP), four parliamentarians contradicted the orientation in favor of the proposal.
Among them, the former head of the party, Luciano Bivar (PE), who is now split with the party’s current leader, Antônio Rueda.
Lula’s former Minister of Tourism, Daniela do Waguinho (RJ), married to the mayor of Belfort Roxo, Waguinho, was also against the proposal.
