Paulinho Advances Short Jan. 8 Sentencing Bill as Flávio Bolsonaro Pushes Broader Amendments

The relator says he will only present the report after securing alignment with Senate leaders to avoid another defeat.

Overview

  • Paulinho da Força ruled out a general amnesty and said his dosimetry proposal to reduce sentences will be a concise 3–4 page report, declaring it is not the lengthy Fux vote.
  • He met PL president Valdemar Costa Neto and plans to hear from Asfav on Wednesday as well as seek input from former minister José Dirceu, even as Asfav denounced sentence reductions as unjust.
  • Senator Flávio Bolsonaro stated the dosimetry approach does not meet his group’s demands and vowed to file amendments using procedural tools to broaden the measure.
  • Deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro warned there are not enough votes to approve highlights aiming at amnesty, underscoring a split within the Bolsonaro camp over strategy.
  • Supporters fear the Senate may bury the initiative as it did the shielding PEC, with a scheduled meeting between Davi Alcolumbre and Hugo Motta canceled on Tuesday.
