Overview

• After a meeting at Michel Temer’s home with Paulinho da Força, Aécio Neves and the remote participation of Chamber President Hugo Motta, the initiative was reframed to reduce statutory penalties instead of granting pardons.
• Paulinho says his report will exclude an “ampla e irrestrita” amnesty and any individualized device such as house arrest, aiming for a general change that could retroactively lower sentences, including for Jair Bolsonaro.
• Alexandre de Moraes publicly denied any agreement with Congress and reiterated that crimes against democracy are not subject to amnesty, underscoring likely constitutional scrutiny of any new law.
• Bolsonarist leaders in the PL plan plenary highlights to try to restore broader relief for Bolsonaro if the base text limits itself to dosimetry changes, while parts of the PT also oppose reducing penalties.
• With urgency already approved by 311–163, Paulinho will consult PL and PT leaders early next week and targets a vote as soon as Wednesday, as Senate President Davi Alcolumbre signals a narrower, parallel bill if needed.
