The rapporteur of the dosimetry project, federal MP Paulinho da Forsa (Solidariedade-SP), is trying to coordinate the proposal in the plenary session without amendments next week. The president of the Chamber, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), and Centrao leaders are putting pressure on the opposition to withdraw the pardon of former President Jair Bolsonaro and make it support the text of the decision. Organizers say there is an expectation that an agreement will be reached to prevent a broad amnesty from being included in the vote. But Bolsonarista opened negotiations to free the former president from the closed regime.

What the Chamber’s leadership understands is that between easing sanctions or not agreeing to any text, the Bolsonarians will end up accepting an agreement for the dosimetry project.
– I am negotiating with the People’s Parliament on the possibilities of not highlighting or amending it (including amnesty). We haven’t been able to resolve the issue yet, it’s progressing, but it’s not resolved. “I hope we can solve the problem by the end of this week so we can vote next week,” Paulinho da Forsa said.
The Bolsonarians’ strategy is to direct the report on the reduction of sentences, which will continue to be submitted, and highlight during the preference vote a return to the original project of Marcelo Crivella (Republican Party). The text provides for a broad amnesty. Despite this, there are those in the Constitutional Party who accept the agreement to approve a shortened version, with reduced penalties.
Versions of the text, which are not final because the report has not been submitted, include mitigating penalties and unifying the crimes of coup d’état and the violent abolition of the democratic rule of law, in addition to reducing the crimes of conditional damage and deterioration of listed property. Thus, Bolsonaro’s sentence will be reduced from 7 to 11 years.
In parallel, Senator Carlos Viana (Podemos-MG) and the leader of the opposition in the Senate, Rogerio Marinho (PL-RN), are trying to present a text that would further ease sanctions. According to Viana, the urgent request, which can speed up the text by skipping the committee stage and making it ready for a vote, already has the necessary signatures for analysis. The request still needs to be voted on to be valid. According to the text, Bolsonaro could be sentenced to six years in prison instead of 27 and three months. This would free him from the initial closed system, where only convicts over the age of eight are detained at the beginning of their sentence.
The opposition is still seeking to turn the tension between Planalto and the President of the Senate, Davi Alcolombre (Uniao-AP), into an opportunity to open a legislative solution that would allow Bolsonaro to be removed from the closed system. The internal assessment is that for the first time since the beginning of the debate on pardons or commutations, the political environment in the Senate is more favorable than it was in the chamber.
