The opposition celebrated the Legislative decision, while the government base regretted the maintenance of the proposal
The National Congress this Thursday (30) the presidential veto to bill no. 2,162/2023, the called Dosimetry PL. The text proposes a reduction in sentences for those convicted of the acts of January 8, including former Chief Executive Jair Bolsonaro. Through social networks, the opposition celebrated the decision of the Legislature, while government base parliamentarians by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) lamented.
The federal deputy Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ) called the PL “unconstitutional”. The parliamentarian stated that the decision to overturn Lula’s veto “reveals the spurious face of an agreement created by sectors that are enemies of the people” with the aim of, in addition to reducing the sentences of those convicted of January 8th, “shielding politicians linked to Banco Master”. The congressman declared that the proposal will be judicialized before the Federal Supreme Court (STF).
THE DOSIMETRY PL IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
The National Congress has just overturned Lula’s veto on the Dosimetry PL and reveals the spurious face of an agreement created by sectors that are enemies of the people in the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate to shield politicians linked to Banco Master…

The federal deputy Erika Hilton (PSOL-SP) classified the decision as “shameful”. The congresswoman said that, in practice, Congress is granting amnesty. She still called on the population to take to the streets against the Legislature’s decision.
🚨 NOW IT’S ON THE STREETS!
Today, Congress took the shameful decision to overturn President Lula’s veto of the so-called “Dosimetry PL”.
In practice, Congress is granting amnesty to criminal politicians and coup plotters, including criminal organization leader Jair Bolsonaro.…

The senator Fabiano Contarato (PT-ES) also understood the maintenance of the Dosimetry PL as a “disguised amnesty”. The parliamentarian declared that, in recent years, there has been an effort to “approve tougher rules for serious crimes” and the opposition is moving “in the opposite direction”. He also stated that the decision “feeds impunity and weakens institutions, democracy and the rule of law”.
Congress decided to reduce sentences and pave the way for a disguised amnesty.
In recent years, we have strived to pass tougher rules for serious crimes. Now, the opposition movement is in the opposite direction, opening space to reduce prison time in certain…

On the contrary, the federal deputy Andre Janones (Rede-MG) wove criticism of the left wing’s treatment of the Dosimetry PL. For the parliamentarian, the proposal “was approved” when they accepted the nomenclature and cited former federal deputy Rubens Paiva, who died during the Military Dictatorship. “We are losing the narrative not to the right, but to our elitism and our intellectual arrogance. If we don’t start talk to the people of real Brazil, while there is time, the beating at the polls in October will be inevitable”, he declared.
The dosimetry PL was not approved today, it was approved when the left agreed to call it the “dosimetry PL” (a name that none of the people have the slightest idea what it means), instead of calling it the “Fernandinho Beira Mar PL”. It was approved when we chose to quote Rubens Paiva…

The senator and pre-candidate for Planalto, Flavio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), said that “the defeat” of the Workers’ Party (PT) is “the victory of Brazil”. The parliamentarian thanked colleagues for voting to maintain the bill and to the president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (União Brasil-AP), for having put the analysis on the agenda and “help in overturning the veto”.
PT’s defeat is BRAZIL’s victory!
I thank the Deputies and Senators for this very special birthday present, overturning the veto on the Dosimetry PL!
It was a 1st step towards the objective of promoting FULL justice to those persecuted on January 8th.

The leader of the opposition in the Senate, Senator Rogério Marinho (PL-RN), stated that the “Congress reacted, faced arbitrariness and served justice”. “Brazil chose pacification, the reunion of families and the rescue of democratic normality. It is the defeat of a power project based on resentment and the victory of a country that wants to turn the page and move forward”, he wrote.
