Authorities linked to the left and the federal government praised the opposite to the amnesty plan to those convicted of coup acts and considered the protests as a pressure factor about the.
On Sunday afternoon (21), Minister Gleisi Hoffmann, a political articulator of the Lula Government (PT), said in a social network that the president landed in New York, to the UN General Assembly, “accompanied by the Brazilian people, who went to the streets to talk high against amnesty to the scammers, against impunity, showing the vigor of our democracy.”
“Here the threat is not created! Brazil will not go back in punishment to those who attacked democracy! Brazil is from the Brazilian people,” said Gleisi.
PT’s national president, Edinho Silva, issued a statement stating that “the policy has to translate what actually bothers the population” and that the legislature must guide proposals such as the one that expands the income tax exemption range, as well as the reduction of the workday.
“Either the political leaders understand this, or the congressional agenda – annastia for scammers and killers, prerogatives, etc. – will be the yeast of mobilizations that are only beginning,” said Edinho.
Bolsonarist leaders, however, try to minimize the strength of protests. Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) shared a publication in which Pastor Silas Malafaia states that the left “deceives the people”.
The acts, performed in all regions of the country, took place early in Brasilia, Salvador, Maceió, Natal, São Luís, Teresina, João Pessoa, Belo Horizonte, Cuiabá, Campo Grande, Manaus and Belém, and gained traction in the afternoon with demonstrations in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Vitória, Curitiba, Florianópolis, Fortaleza, Recife, Recife, Recife, Recife, Recife, Recife, Recife, Recife, Recife, Recife, Aracaju and Goiania. Protesters criticized the former president (PL) and the mayor, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB).
The presence of artists boosted demonstrations in some places.
The Minister of AGU (Attorney General of the Union), Jorge Messias, said that Brazil again showed the world “the strength of its democracy”. “The streets of various large cities have filled in sovereign defense of our democratic achievements,” he said.
On social networks, Fabio Wajngarten, who was secretary of communication of the Bolsonaro government, made a publication mocking the protests on Paulista Avenue, but also criticized the “junction of the staff” of the armor and amnesty PEC. He said that those who promoted the joint articulation of proposals “deserves all the averse marketing awards.”
Wajngarten stated that PEC “serves a small group, is not well perceived by the population and still serves as a vehicle for the left to advance with a speech that is not up to them.”
The demonstration was called in a hurry by leftist groups after the House approved, on the 16th, and the urgency for the Amnesty project, the following date.
The government leader in the House, Deputy José Guimarães (PT-CE), said that the “people show their strength and does not accept setbacks.” “A crowd took the streets in defense of democracy, against amnesty and against the shielding PEC,” said Guimarães.
PT leader in the House, Deputy Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ) also commented on social networks the acts promoted by the left on Sunday.
“All Brazil on the streets. In Brasilia, a sea of people occupies the Esplanada. It’s without amnesty, without a shielding PEC. Let’s go up!”, Said Lindbergh, who leads a bench that gave 12 votes to approve the Armage PEC.
Senator Randolfe Rodrigues (PT-AP), leader of the Government in the National Congress, referred to Sunday as a day of struggle “in Amapá and throughout Brazil” against the PEC of the armor. “It’s time to show the strength of our people, who doesn’t tolerate such little scammades,” Randolfe said on a social network.
The attention turns to this week. THE Sheetthe rapporteur of the Armage PEC, Senator Alessandro Vieira (MDB-SE), said the proposal and will be overthrown in the house. Vieira will present his opinion contrary to the measure at the CCJ (Constitution and Justice Commission) on Wednesday (24).
The PEC, which restricts police operations and inquiries against congressmen, was last week and had a very bad repercussion on social networks, leading parliamentarians to apologize for their votes in favor of the proposal.
