Overview

• After a tense meeting in Brasília, PL deputies publicly confronted relator Paulinho da Força, prompting leader Sóstenes Cavalcante to reprimand the caucus and say the bill will not be voted this week.
• Paulinho reaffirmed he will propose reducing penalties through legislative changes he calls dosimetry, not an unrestricted amnesty, and he began consulting other parties to gather written suggestions.
• PL lawmakers argued that recalculating sentences is a judicial function and accused the relator of acting under Supreme Court influence, signaling they may vote against a dosimetry‑based report.
• Some PL figures cited new U.S. Magnitsky‑style sanctions related to Justice Alexandre de Moraes as creating a hostile climate that contributes to the delay, a claim tied to their broader interference allegations.
• The PL brought relatives of convicted and detained individuals to address the relator, while Paulinho said he aims to present a compromise text for a possible vote next week after wider consultations.
