The allies the former president presses in Congress for his amnesty

Before Bolsonaro faced trial, the possibility of an amnestybut the proposal gained strength since Tarcisio de Freitasgovernor of Sao Paulo, publicly defended the former president as future candidate for 2026.

In this way, it is expected that this week of Freitas will meet with other opposition leaders to continue with the Drafting an amnesty project to present in Congress. At the same time, it is not ruled out that the governor leads to the right in next year’s elections.

Support for Jair Bolsonaro

While the Liberal Party (PL) Bolsonaro has related supports such as Progressive and Unión Brazilthe fundamental thing for De Freitas is to persuade those who occupy the known as’centers‘of the parliamentary arch, formed by forces apparently No ideological orientation that move for particular interests.

At the same time, he must do the same with the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta to include this issue on the Congress agenda, despite the fact that E andn the Senate would meet the rejection of his boss, David Alcolaga, who Defend an alternative text without general forgiveness.

In a recent demonstration, De Freitas joined the attacks against the Supreme Court, and, under the gaze of former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro, defended the amnesty for those involved in the riots of January 8, 2023.

However, the Supreme Court had rejected the amnesty for being unconstitutional and some jurists consider that it would not exempt Bolsonaro from all the accusations against him.
