Overview

• The Senate’s Constitution and Justice Commission is set to take up the proposal on Wednesday, with relator Alessandro Vieira recommending rejection and chair Otto Alencar saying it will be the first item and should be buried.
• Turnout estimates reached about 42.3 thousand on Avenida Paulista and 41.8 thousand in Copacabana, with demonstrations reported in all 26 state capitals and the Federal District.
• Artists including Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil and Djavan anchored the Rio event, which organizers framed as a musical rally that kept politicians off the main stage.
• In the Chamber, the urgency for the amnesty bill remains, but relator Paulinho da Força is crafting a dosimetry-based text to reduce sentences rather than grant a broad pardon, with meetings and a possible report on Wednesday.
• The mobilization increased pressure on Chamber president Hugo Motta and prompted apologies from deputies who supported the PEC, as Bolsonaro allies worked to downplay the size and impact of the rallies.
