Bolsonaro’s interlocutor Paulo Figueiredo, a leading critic of the effort to reduce the sentences of those charged and convicted for the January 8 acts before a broad amnesty, publicly backed down on Tuesday (September 12) and declared his support for so-called PL Dosimetry.
In a publication in X, Figueiredo said he had changed his position given the progress of negotiations in Congress. The President of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), announced the vote on the proposal in plenary session for this Tuesday.
“I have been the biggest critic of the strategy of approving a reduction in sentences before a broad, general and unrestricted amnesty. But, at this moment, I recognize that we have no other better option. If I were in Congress, I would vote for and continue to fight for amnesty,” Figuereido wrote.

The Association of Relatives and Victims of January 8 (Asfav) – made up of convicts, members of their families and lawyers –, on the other hand, published a press release affirming that the text of the proposal, presented Tuesday by MP Paulinho da Força (Solidariedade-SP), “does not address the heart of the injustices committed” in the trials linked to the January 8 attacks.
In the document, the association still expresses its opposition to the proposed text and asks federal deputies to “present an alternative text that truly responds to the wishes of the victims of January 8 and of Brazilian society.”
