Overview

  • A free concert in Copacabana on Sunday at 14:00 will feature Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil and Djavan as part of protests against the legislative shield and a proposed amnesty.
  • Frente Povo Sem Medo called rallies in 19 states, with São Paulo’s event set for 14:00 at the MASP and rapper Djonga scheduled to perform in Brasília.
  • The Chamber approved the ‘PEC da Blindagem’ on Sept. 16, advancing a measure that would require legislative authorization, often by secret vote, to open criminal cases against deputies and senators.
  • Lawmakers approved urgency on Sept. 17 for an amnesty bill tied to the Jan. 8, 2023 attacks, a move that allows the proposal to go directly to the plenary.
  • Ministers of the Supreme Federal Court signaled they will not accept an amnesty that absolves Jair Bolsonaro and others convicted for the Jan. 8 plot.
