With the Congress session scheduled for the 30th, the Dosimetry PL returns to the center of the debate with strong expectations of overturning the president’s vetoes Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). The opposition intensified efforts to reduce the sentences of those convicted of the acts of January 8, while the government already admits the possibility of defeat in the Legislature.
Opposition deputies are already calculating a victory in both Houses. The project rapporteur, Paulinho da Força (Solidarity-SP), see 300 votes in the Chamber and 50 no Senate for a .
“The session will be remote, therefore, it will be even more difficult. We have to work. Talk to the leaders, so that we can overturn the veto. The tendency is to increase the number of votes. We must pass 300 votes in the Chamber and a little more than 50 in the Senate. People are more convinced that it is necessary to get this issue out of the way. It was President Lula’s revenge, so we need to overturn it”, he stated.
This calculation is also made by the government’s own base in Congress. Left-wing parliamentarians already see the high possibility that the PL will be maintained almost in its entirety and do not believe in an offensive at this time. The bet is that there will be a reaction from society to stop the agenda.
The focus of the proposal is to change the calculation of convictions. To this end, the text establishes criteria and sets minimum percentages for compliance and regime progression. To avoid “legal uncertainty”, the rapporteur also made it clear that the redemption could be compatible with house arrest.
According to the text, if the person is convicted of “exercising command, individually or collectively, of a criminal organization structured to commit a heinous or similar crime, at least 50%” of the sentence must be served.
This would be the case of Bolsonaro, at least STF (Federal Supreme Court). This is because, for ad, it was considered the aggravating factor of leadership of a criminal organization.
Lula sentence o during the three-year ceremony on January 8th. During the event at Palácio do Planalto, the president said that this was a victory for democracy and praised the STF’s performance.
To reject the veto, an absolute majority of votes from deputies and senators is required, that is, 257 votes from deputies and 41 votes from senators.
