Last Thursday, and in less than 24 hours, Bolsonaro granted the pardon to deputy Daniel Silveiraan ally of the Brazilian Labor Party for Rio de Janeiro, even before he filed an appeal to appeal a ruling that sentenced him to eight years and nine months in prison for insults and threats to the magistrates of the Supreme.
The pardon frees Silveira from going to prison, but not the penalty of disqualification from running for public office for the duration of the sentence. In turn, he must face the R$192,000 fine ($30,000).
The measure occurred one day after sentencing against the deputy applied by the STF, which further strain relations between the Brazilian powersin the framework of investigations against far-right Bolsonarists prosecuted for attacking the democratic rule of law.

The STF judge who handled the case, Alexandre de Moraesconfirmed on Tuesday that Bolsonaro is in conditions for presenting the pardon that would free Silveira from jailbut not of the other penalties, such as the economic fine and political disqualification.
However, he noted that the Supreme Court still retains the prerogative to analyze whether the pardon can be applied Despite the fact that the sentence is not final and that in any case it would not affect his political disqualification, the local newspaper O Globo detailed and the Europa Press news agency reproduced.
