Overview

• Carlos Bolsonaro publicly accused conservative leaders of failing to defend his father and alleged that Jair Bolsonaro is being held illegally and mistreated.
• Jair Bolsonaro is under house arrest after a conviction tied to the January 8 events, a status that frames the current push for legal relief.
• Chamber rapporteur Paulinho da Força has ruled out an unrestricted amnesty and says his report will focus only on reducing sentences.
• With the dosimetry bill stalled, a pro‑amnesty march planned for October 8 has struggled to gain traction inside the Bolsonaro family, drawing explicit support only from Michelle and Flávio.
• Carlos directed criticism at governors Tarcísio de Freitas, Romeu Zema and Ronaldo Caiado, and his reference to a 'union of the right' echoed Senator Ciro Nogueira's call for conservative unity ahead of 2026.
