Senate Names Alessandro Vieira to Review 'PEC da Blindagem' as He Vows Rejection

Public backlash is mounting, with deputies apologizing alongside protests set for Sunday.

Overview

  • CCJ chair Otto Alencar signaled the measure will be shelved in the upper house as MDB leaders declared opposition and the relator promised a technical report against it.
  • The Chamber-approved text restricts criminal actions against lawmakers, revives secret votes in key decisions, expands special forum to party chiefs and can halt prescription during a mandate.
  • Deputies who supported the proposal apologized and sought to annul the vote in court, including Silvye Alves, Merlong Solano and Pedro Campos.
  • Nationwide demonstrations against the proposal and the anistia plan were called for Sunday in at least 19 states, with Avenida Paulista slated for a major act and artists endorsing the mobilization.
  • Separately, Congress shifted from a broad anistia to a sentencing‑reduction draft under Paulinho da Força with outreach to STF figures, as Bolsonaro allies reject mere dosimetria and discuss adding amnesty on the floor.
