The Minister of SRI (Secretariat of Institutional Relations), (PT), harshly criticized the approval of the Dosimetry PL, which reduces the sentence for Jair Bolsonaro and the “other coup plotters”. “It is disrespectful to the STF’s decision and a serious setback in legislation that protects democracy,” wrote Hoffman, who assured that President Lula will veto the project.

“Those convicted of attacking democracy must pay for their crimes,” said the minister, who classified the handling of the issue by the government leadership in the Senate as as a “regrettable error”.

. The proposal reduces the sentences of those convicted of the acts of January 8, including the former president sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison for a coup d’état. The text now goes.

The text of the Dosimetry PL determines that the crimes of attempting to end the Democratic Rule of Law and coup d’état, when committed in the same context, will imply the use of the most serious penalty instead of the sum of both penalties.
