Eduardo Bolsonaro Warns ‘No 2026 Election’ Without Amnesty as Brazil’s Prosecutor General Denounces Him

Congressional talks on amnesty have stalled, leaving Bolsonaro allies scrambling for legal shields.

Overview

  • Eduardo Bolsonaro posted that amnesty is the “minimum” to defend democracy and warned that without it there will be no election in 2026.
  • Carlos and Eduardo criticized right‑wing pre‑candidates vowing presidential pardons and pressed for an “ampla, geral e irrestrita” amnesty to restore Jair Bolsonaro’s eligibility.
  • Legislative momentum has faded, with leaders saying there is no climate to vote an amnesty and even the sentence‑dosimetry bill led by Paulinho da Força lacks a timetable.
  • The Prosecutor General’s Office formally denounced Eduardo for coercion during a proceeding, alleging repeated attempts to interfere in the January 8 case and noting penalties could reach six years and eight months.
  • PL deputy Capitão Alden began collecting signatures for an amendment to prevent parliamentary opinions and speeches from being treated as obstruction of justice, presented as a shield for Eduardo.
