Support for the Dosimetry PL
Barroso defended the vote in favor of , the approved text that changes the calculation of criminal penalties. Although criticized by sectors that demanded immediate total amnesty, the parliamentarian sees the measure as a viable way to release those detained for the acts of January 8th in the short term.

The focus of the mandate, according to him, will be to reverse current convictions through politics, citing the left organization as an example of efficiency in occupying spaces.
“The left has always been on the front line, traveling the world denouncing the Brazilian system. We are going to reverse this situation”, he stated.
‘No radicalism’

“I’m not going to be a radical deputy, who attacks without preparation. We have to know when to move forward. We need to be careful not to get hurt. Always defending our homeland and the people who defend conservatism. We want to help those convicted of January 8th, without radicalism.”
Barroso concluded by listing his legislative priorities, which combine economic agendas with an intense defense against what he classifies as political persecution.
“Projects and things that defend a sustainable nature, such as tax reductions, these things I have already been working on. I will dedicate more to amnesty and projects that harm Brazil because of this persecution. We will be focused on that.”
