Overview

• Demonstrations filled streets in all 26 state capitals and the Federal District on Sept. 21, with roughly 42.3 thousand people on São Paulo’s Paulista Avenue and 41.8 thousand in Rio’s Copacabana, according to USP’s Monitor do Debate Político.
• Senate CCJ president Otto Alencar and relator Alessandro Vieira said they will move to defeat the Chamber‑approved immunity proposal, with Vieira’s report against it set to be read at the CCJ’s Wednesday session.
• The Chamber fast‑tracked an amnesty bill last week, but its relator Paulinho da Força is now negotiating a narrower text focused on dosimetria, meeting party benches this week and signaling he will not craft a measure to benefit Jair Bolsonaro.
• Political fallout was immediate as some deputies who backed the PEC posted public apologies, party leaders distanced themselves, and Lula said the protests showed the public rejects impunity and amnesty.
• High‑profile artists drew crowds at acts in Rio and São Paulo, and solidarity protests were held by Brazilian communities in Lisbon, London, Paris and Berlin.
