Read the full note from the PT president
The National Congress, after overturning President Lula’s veto, enacted the so-called dosimetry bill.
The proposal represents a setback in the fight against crimes against democracy and very serious crimes, as investigations showed irrefutable evidence that there was a plan to assassinate President Lula, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin and the then president of the TSE, Alexandre de Moraes.
The coup acts of January 8 were organized attacks against the sovereignty of the popular vote and against the Democratic Rule of Law.
And yet, at a time when society demands harsher punishments for serious crimes, forgiving those who planned murders is a contradiction that cannot be ignored: while they claim to defend the safety of Brazilians, they protect their own interests, and not the interests of the people and our democracy.
The PT and allied parties that defend democracy will take the appropriate legal measures against this proposal that violates the country’s democracy and public security.
Edinho Silva
National President of PT
