PL leader in the House, Sostenes Cavalcante (RJ), boarded for the United States this week, where he should meet with Deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP). The trip takes place two days after Sostenes met with former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving house arrest, and amid a growing environment around the amnesty proposal to convicts by the 2022 coup acts. The information is from the newspaper. Folha de S. Paulo.
The meeting takes place at a delicate moment: the new sanctions imposed by the STF government of Donald Trump and have stopped any discussion about amnesty in Congress.
Centrão deputies and even Bolsonaro allies admitted to the newspaper that the American offensive made it difficult to build consensus, and criticize Eduardo’s role, which intensified attacks on Brazilian authorities on their social networks.

According to allies, Sostenes’s mission includes convincing Eduardo to moderate the speech, especially in the face of rumors that he would consider requesting sanctions against Army Commander General Tomás Paiva – a hypothesis that worried members of the Armed Forces and led the military to seek the PL leader in search of political intervention.
Eduardo has argued that allies do not support any proposal that does not include full amnesty. Already Jair Bolsonaro, according to interlocutors, would be willing to accept a text that reduces penalties, provided that the maintenance of house arrest is guaranteed.
Although the advisory of Sostenes states that the trip is official and includes commitments in the UN, there are no records of the mission on the House website. To the newspaper, people close to the parliamentarian also mention personal reasons, such as the reunion with family members living in the US.
