Overview

  • PT leader Lindbergh Farias said President Lula will sign the veto on January 8, with a legal deadline of January 12 to decide on the bill.
  • The ruling bloc plans to reverse 35 votes from December’s Chamber tally to secure enough support to maintain the veto without relying on the Senate.
  • The strategy includes nationwide street mobilizations, daily public scoreboards tracking deputies’ positions, and direct negotiations with lawmakers.
  • Congress is scheduled to take up the veto from February 2, and overturning it would require absolute majorities of 257 deputies and 41 senators.
  • The measure, approved late 2025 with 291 votes in the Chamber and 48 in the Senate, would reduce penalties for Jair Bolsonaro and others convicted over the January 8 attacks.
