With Eduardo Barretto and Iander Porcella. ‘President Hugo Motta, President Davi Alcolumbre, with all due respect to Your Excellencies, there is no half amnesty, there is no criminal amnesty without electoral amnesty. Our Constitution is very clear and do not allow, Presidents Hugo and Davi, that our Legislative Power be, once again, trampled by Alexandre de Moraes, humiliated by Alexandre de Moraes,’ said Flávio, at the protest in Copacabana (RJ). Alcolumbre has positioned himself as the main barrier to a ‘broad, general, and unrestricted’ amnesty, as defended by the PL, which includes former President Jair Bolsonaro, whose trial in the Federal Supreme Court (STF) for attempted coup will resume this Tuesday, 9. Last week, after São Paulo Governor, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans), completely immersed in the amnesty negotiations, with the blessings of PP and União Brasil, Alcolumbre brought back the idea of ​​approving a proposal to reduce the sentences of those convicted from 8/1 who participated in the vandalism of the buildings of the three Powers, but did not finance or plan the attacks.
