Overview

• Senate President Davi Alcolumbre posted a friendly photo with Chamber President Hugo Motta after the inauguration of Supreme Court president Edson Fachin.
• The Senate archived the 'PEC da Blindagem' following a unanimous CCJ rejection, a move reinforced by public pressure against the proposal.
• The Chamber had approved the measure in two rounds by 354–134 and 344–133, with provisions that would have required secret, majority authorization to arrest or prosecute lawmakers for any crime.
• Political fallout has strained relations between the Houses, with leaders in the Centrão saying Motta advanced an unpopular agenda without coordinating with Alcolumbre.
• The amnesty bill passed by the Chamber now faces uncertain prospects in the Senate, where the governing base could block or alter the proposal.
