Marcos Rogério: And, in the conversation I had with President Bolsonaro, he, despite his personal condition of already, at that time, being under house arrest — which later worsened even more, because now he is imprisoned, incarcerated for a crime he did not commit — said that, if he had to deliberate on this matter, Senator Portinho, that we should deliberate, that we should vote, even at his personal sacrifice, but that we should vote on the bill that would modify the penalties to allow fathers and mothers to return home to be beside their children, even if that would not benefit him at this time; and we are voting.
Marcos Rogério: Does that prevent Parliament, a little further on, from returning to debate the issue of amnesty?
No. What we are doing here today is correcting an excess.
Marcos Rogério: This bill comes as an instrument of restoration of criminal justice, because — I said it in the CCJ and repeat it here — faced with a single hammer blow, without the right to appeal, without the right to an appeal, the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) convicted hundreds of Brazilians, without them being able to appeal, without being able to seek recourse, in a court of exception, because this matter should not have been in the STF; and, being in the STF, the competence should have been of the Plenary, which also did not happen; it went to one of the STF's chambers; and, in the chamber it went to, the trial should have been by impartial ministers, judges, which also did not happen, because the majority there had impediment or some sort of suspected bias.
Marcos Rogério: But they overcame everything to carry out an unconstitutional trial.
