The approval of the bill does not erase the following distortions: the casuistic nature of the matter, the blatant exchange of interests between , the trampling of the rules and the false claim that the gesture would mark the beginning of pacification among the country’s radicalized currents. Just a vicar’s tale.
Congress changed the law on criminal executions to benefit convicted people. This intended to modify decisions of the Federal Supreme Court, which is yet to examine the case, but the Legislature’s intention served the interests of a political group. Opposition, but with support from the government, whose cynicism promises a veto.
He misread the concept of a drafting amendment and ignored the warnings from more responsible senators about the defects in the text. There was a give and take negotiated the night before the vote, through which the opposition would guarantee votes for an increase in revenue sources worth R$20 billion.
There is no peacemaking argument capable of sustaining itself in the face of the following clarity: there is no parity of conditions between the aggressor and the attacked. The convicts launched attacks against which the institutions defended themselves.
There was no sign of repentance on the part of the attackers, admission of guilt or commitment not to repeat acts of serious civil disobedience. On the contrary, they claim forgiveness as proof that they did nothing wrong.
Therefore, they can do it again without anything serious happening to them. There will always be a lurking condescension to forgive them in the name of a peace that will not come while the flag of cultural and political hegemony is in dispute.
There will be no possible moderation on the horizon as long as the logic of war prevails among those who have neither the tools nor the willingness to lay down their arms and build an environment conducive to dialogues based on precepts of a republican nature.
