PL does not get signatures for 8/1 amnesty urgency and campaign cools
The attempted PL (Liberal Party) to urgently approve the bill that grants amnesty to arrested and condemned by the acts of 8 January 2023 lost strength in the House of Representatives. The caption, which houses former President Jair Bolsonaro, has not yet been able to gather the 257 signatures necessary to bring the urgent request to the vote.
According to the leader of the acronym in the House, Deputy Sostenes Cavalcante (RJ), the PL already has the support of 163 parliamentarians. Faced with the lack of adhesion of party leaders, the caption now seeks individual support from deputies – a strategy considered more laborious and with greater risk of political wear.

Throughout the week, the PL bet on a obstruction strategy to press the presidency of the house to guide the project. Sessions and votes have been interrupted or emptied through the so -called “Obstruction Kit”, which includes maneuvers such as the agenda, quorum verification requests and prolonged discourses. The pressure, however, annoyed center parties and ended up losing breath. Committees returned to work and votes resumed.

The expectation of the PL was that leaders of other subtitles formally adhered to the application, which did not happen. Part of the resistance is due to the sensitive and politicized profile of the proposal, but also to the lack of a clear sign of the mayor, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), on the subject.
Behind the scenes, center leaders accuse the scholarship wing of trying to “push the project below” without negotiation. The assessment is that the belligerent PL tumultuates the political environment and can compromise future joints in Congress.
Motta, in turn, has adopted moderate and institutional tone. Last week, in a speech in the plenary, defended “balance, pragmatism and political detachment”, avoiding committing to guidelines that generate friction with the Supreme Court (STF).
“It is not time to follow anyone, but to act with political detachment, without pettiness, to act with haughty, but without false heroisms,” he said.
Nevertheless, Sostenes maintains that leaders did not signs the urgent request for Motta’s guidance – which is contested behind the scenes. Party leaders point out that they do not need presidency authorization to endorse requirements and that, in the case of amnesty, they prefer to expect a more favorable scenario for approval.
Even with the setback, the PL promises to maintain the pressure. Sostenes said that, from Monday (7), he will start a new round of signature collection at bench meetings. The caption will also maintain obstruction as a form of protest, despite the resistance of other acronyms.
