“By mistake”, a member of the PT helped approve the PL on dosimetry in the CCJ Senate

Surprisingly, the PT member Fabiano Contarato joined senators Bolsonaro and Centrão to help approve the opinion, which is expected to be voted on in plenary soon.

In a note, Contarato explained that he was “totally opposed to PL Dosimetry and everything it represents”, but, by mistake, he recorded the “yes” in the Senate candidacy. He said he had asked the committee chair to correct his vote in the panel and that in plenary his vote would be against the text.

According to the senator, the project “promotes impunity, benefiting those who had concrete plans to destroy the democratic rule of law.”

The votes against are those of Randolfe Rodrigues (PT-AP), leader of the Lula government in Congress, Augusta Brito (PT-CE), Rogério Carvalho (PT-SE), Eliziane Gama (PSD-MA), Soraya Thronicke (Podemos-MS), Marcelo Castro (MDB-PI) and Veneziano Vital do Rêgo (MDB-PB).

In the morning, Renan Calheiros (MDB-AL), president of the CCJ, publicly complained about the leader of the government in the Senate, Jaques Wagner (PT-BA), who approached him to request that the Chamber authorize the advancement of the vote on the dosimetry project, as part of an effort to unblock the analysis of another text considered a priority for the economic team, which deals with the reduction of tax incentives and the increase in taxation of betting, fintechs and interest on equity.

Calheiros said he would not participate in this farce and did not vote this afternoon. Shortly before the vote in the CCJ, Minister Gleisi Hoffmann denied any negotiations or agreements in the Senate involving the PL aimed at reducing the sentences of the putschists condemned by the STF.

“The government is against this proposal and advises its base to vote against it, for reasons already known: those who attacked democracy must pay for their crimes and, moreover, the project approved in the House benefits those who have been convicted of several other crimes.”
