Overview

• Chamber president Hugo Motta separated a sweeping amnesty proposal and sent it to the Constitution and Justice Committee, positioning it as the likely vehicle for an urgency vote that leaders could schedule after a meeting this evening.
• Opposition lawmakers led by the PL are pushing to include Jair Bolsonaro and other STF convicts in the measure and project more than 300 votes for the urgency request, with some counts rising if a narrower scope is adopted.
• The federal government opposes the initiative, as minister Gleisi Hoffmann labeled a broad amnesty immoral and unconstitutional and said the Planalto is working to defeat the urgency.
• Senate president Davi Alcolumbre has indicated he will not advance any version that benefits Bolsonaro and is promoting an alternative that reduces penalties for January 8 participants, a so‑called anistia light.
• Allies of Bolsonaro favor PL 2.162/23 covering politically motivated protests from October 30, 2022 until the law takes effect, but Motta has not named a rapporteur, leaving the final scope unsettled and the bill’s path uncertain.
