“Better the Supreme Court to resolve,” says Temer, in criticism of Amnesty PL to the acts of 8/1

Former President Michel Temer said on Friday (28) that reviewing the dosimetry of the penalties of those convicted of the acts of January 8 is a more appropriate alternative than advance with the amnesty project currently in the House of Representatives.

“I think the Supreme Court itself will resolve this issue,” Temer said in an interview with CNNwhen asked about the amnesty PL.

In the evaluation of the former president, the problem is not in the existence of punishments, but in the severity of the applied penalties. He argues that the Supreme Court review judgments already issued if it receives appeals or formal claims from the convicts.

“The punishment, I think no one argues that it would have to exist. What is discussed more is the dosage, the so-called dosimetry of the penalty. And I think, I already guessed in that direction, that the supreme, if you receive several requests, can dose again these penalties, so reduce them,” he said.

For Temer, this would be the most institutionally balanced exit, avoiding a confrontation between the powers.

“There would be no conflict between the National Congress, by virtue of the amnesty law, and the very decision of the Supreme. I make votes that walking along this path, which is quieter for the country,” he added.

Review has already been suggested by Fux

The possibility of revising the dosimetry was recently mentioned by Minister Luiz Fux, during the trial that welcomed the complaint against Jair Bolsonaro (PL) for attempted coup. The minister cited the case of hairdresser Débora Rodrigues dos Santos, who peered with lipstick the statue of justice in the STF with the phrase “lost, Mané”, on January 8, 2023.

Minister Alexandre de Moraes proposed a penalty of over 17 years in prison, considering that the symbolic act was part of an attempt to subvert democracy. Fux, however, asked for a view of the case, and the trial is suspended.
