Lack of support from party leaders has led the PL to seek 257 individual signatures, which has generated discontent among the members of the centrão, who feel harmed by the obstructions in voting
The former president’s Liberal Party (PL) faces significant challenges in the House of Representatives in his attempt to approve an amnesty project for convicts in relation to events on January 8. The lack of support from party leaders has led the PL to seek 257 individual signatures, which has generated discontent between the members of the centrão, who feel harmed by the obstructions in the voting. PL leader said he already has 163 signatures, but still needs 94 more so that the proposal can be discussed. The responsibility to decide on the vote on the urgent request is on the Mayor, who has shown hesitation to prioritize the issue, fearing possible conflicts with the Federal Supreme Court ().
Centrist party leaders criticize the PL strategy, claiming that opposition is trying to advance with the project without proper dialogue, which can compromise future negotiations. This posture has generated a climate of tension, making it difficult to build consensus necessary for the approval of other important guidelines.
Due to its significant bench, the PL was able to obstruct the functioning of some committees, but after requests from Hugo Motta, he decided to release the health, agriculture and tourism committees for essential votes. Sostenes Cavalcante argued that the obstruction performed by the PL is a responsible action, while waiting for Motta to allow leaders to sign the urgent request for the proposal.
