The president of the Senate (-AP) resolved, from the presidency of the House, a conflict between the and the Anti-Faction Law, to make it possible to reduce the sentences of those convicted of a coup d’état, including the former president (PL).
Congress intends to overturn the PT’s veto on the Dosimetry PL, but the conflict between the two texts could invalidate the toughening of penalties for crimes involving criminal organizations and feminicides.
This is because of the changes made by the Anti-Faction Law, sanctioned in March, which made it difficult for certain crimes to progress to regimes.
At the beginning of the discussion, Alcolumbre announced that he would consider the articles of the project that conflict with the law to be impaired (i.e., without effect). A (28).
According to Alcolumbre, the solution used by the presidency is justified by temporality, as congressmen approved the anti-faction project after dosimetry, and to respect the legislators’ purpose, which was to toughen sentences for those convicted of crimes involving the formation of a private militia, feminicide and heinous crimes.
The decision was questioned by left-wing parliamentarians, such as PT, PSOL and PC do B, who raised questions of order against the decision throughout the session. PT leader, Pedro Uczai (PT-SC), said that the party intends to legalize the issue, as there would be no precedent for this in Congress.
He defended that the veto be voted point by point to expose the opposition’s position on the matter.
The opposition supported the measure adopted by the president. “He very correctly declared the harmfulness of some sections of the Criminal Execution Law, because it is not the will of this house to go back in the fight against criminal organizations”, said deputy Bia Kicis (PL-DF) to Sheet.
On Tuesday (28), the Chamber also resolved the issue.
Asked by deputy Jandira Feghali (PC of B-RJ) about what precedent would be used, Alcolumbre cited the vote on past vetoes, such as excerpts from the LDO (Budget Guidelines Law), but the deputy said that the examples referred to partial, not full, vetoes, which would invalidate the use of the cases as precedents.
Left-wing parliamentarians also questioned the vote on the veto on dosimetry, as there are others, older ones, in line; and the fact that the session allows remote voting.
Alcolumbre responded that there is no determination of order of preference in the deliberation of vetoes whose deadline has already expired and are now put on the agenda. He also argued that the choice of what to propose is up to the president.
The overthrow of President Lula’s dosimetry bill, which reduces the sentences of those convicted of a coup d’état, in 8/1, including Bolsonaro.
The proposal, states that the penalties for the crimes of coup d’état and violent abolition of the democratic rule of law should not be applied cumulatively when in the same context.
The text also provides for a sentence reduction of one to two thirds for the crimes of attempted coup or abolition when they were committed in a crowd, as long as the agent did not carry out an act of financing or exercised a leadership role.
Voting takes place in a joint session of the Federal Government, chaired by. If Lula’s veto is overturned, as predicted by parliamentarians, the project approved by Congress will become law.
To reject the veto, an absolute majority of parliamentarians’ votes is required, that is, 257 votes from deputies and 41 votes from senators, computed separately.
