The possible advancement, in the Senate, of the project which modifies the dosimetry rules for the sanctions of crimes against the democratic rule of law has led the PT to prepare a legal reaction. The party’s leader in the House, Lindbergh Farias, said he would appeal to the Federal Court if senators approve the text as is, on the grounds that there was a change in merit and a violation of the regular legislative process.
The proposal changes sentencing criteria and reduces the time required for regime progress in crimes such as attempted coup and violent abolition of the democratic rule of law. In the Senate, the CCJ analyzes the text this Wednesday. The text was the subject of a review request for four hours and will return for analysis today.
— If this bill to reduce sentences and regime progression times is approved in the Senate, we will take it to court to ensure legislative due process — Lindbergh said.
According to the PT, the Senate went beyond editorial amendments by promoting changes that exclude a wide range of crimes from the regime’s progression, with a potential impact on thousands of convicts. The reading from the bench is that this type of change requires a new analysis by the House, otherwise it violates the constitutional rite.
Another point of criticism concerns the progress of the procedure. Government parliamentarians affirm that the reduction in the period for requesting review occurred without the project being subject to an emergency regime and without there being a new fact which would justify an acceleration of the debate.
— Vista is a minority right and a guarantee of a regular legislative process — declared the leader of the PT.
The government opposes this proposal which directly benefits those accused and those convicted of crimes linked to the attempted institutional breakdown, including former President Jair Messias Bolsonaro.
Given the scenario, the PT is already working on the possibility of convening the STF if the text is approved by the Senate without returning to the Chamber.
On a daily basis, the judges convened the Court, thus avoiding Planalto having to take a position on controversial subjects. If Lindbergh went to the STF and got a contrary decision, Lula would not need to veto it.
