- Neutral
About: reduce custodial sentences
Folks, an important video today about the vote regarding the PL (Liberal Party) to reduce sentences.
About: approve amnesty
From the start, we have fought for a broad, general and restricted amnesty, just as President Bolsonaro requested.
About: reduce custodial sentences
After all, people shouldn't be in jail.
But we know that in politics there is the ideal and there is also the possible.
- Neutral
About: reduce custodial sentences
Today I received the information that Bolsonaro gave the OK, he gave the green light, he asked that we vote for a bill that would reduce sentences.
About: reduce custodial sentences
First point, this is a very noble gesture by Bolsonaro, because after all he could simply say no, I'm not part of the liberation batch, so I'll ask you to vote against.
- Neutral
About: reduce custodial sentences
But no, even imprisoned, even under an unjust, disproportionate imprisonment — 27 years for a coup — while people commit scandals, including now billionaires who get out of jail in a week.
- Neutral
About: reduce custodial sentences
He decided to have those families, those hostages, released.
And here there's a very important point that I need you to understand.
About: reduce custodial sentences
These people, let's suppose they're 100 hostages; if you say we're going to take 50 of those hostages out, that's already a step.
About: reduce custodial sentences
So we're taking a step to be able to get these people out and put them back in their homes.
So today we talked with Paulinho, we hammered out the text, there was something in it.
- Neutral
About: reduce custodial sentences
Which, moreover, Deputy Bia Kicis, in a very smart and important way, asked to modify, but he assured us that people with sentences under 17 years will be freed, will be at home.
So, what am I trying to say with this?
That we were together in the CPMI of the 8th for six months, indeed.
I was there at every session, every action we took.
We even made 10-episode documentaries about the absurd cases that were happening on the 8th.
We even went to Papuda; I visited personally, in fact, when Clesão was still alive there in Papuda.
I saw face to face both the women in Colmeia and also the men in Papuda.
We peacefully occupied the table here in order to put pressure.
- Neutral
About: approve amnesty
We approved the urgency of the PL (Liberal Party) of the amnesty and today we arrived here.
At one moment, I need you to understand something: that we are in a completely disadvantaged position.
We don't have Alexandre de Moraes on our side, we don't have the Supreme Court, we don't have the President of the Republic — on the contrary, our leader is imprisoned — we don't have the media on our side to fight for the amnesty, we don't have the artists, let's say, the majority of them who make those little black-and-white videos with a pitiful look.
With a little musical background, we don't have the President of the Chamber nor the President of the Senate.
So we're in a disadvantaged position.
But, Nicolas, wasn't this the most conservative Congress of all time?
Indeed.
Previously, if there were 10 or 5 conservatives here, indeed, that was a lot.
Today we are perhaps 70, 80, but it's far, far, far from being the ideal number, I confess.
And that's why you need to understand that it's not that we're doing the minimum.
We are doing the maximum with the resources we have.
About: reduce custodial sentences
So I ask that you understand this, that we are here fighting to be able to free these hostages, free these innocents, because if half a dozen — and it isn't half a dozen, it's many more families — families go home, are with their children, a father finds his daughter, a mother can lie down in her bed, even Débora's lawyer, the one from Batom, who got 17 years and wrote, lost a nena, a statue.
- Neutral
About: reduce custodial sentences
has already declared support for this project as well.
- Neutral
About: reduce custodial sentences
I also received a message today from Norda, who is the wife of one of the prisoners sentenced to 17 years; she also told me, 'Nicolas, I understand, vote in favor of this bill.'
I'm simply speaking here and declaring to you the importance of this day and, above all, what you understand.
We are taking a step, a step toward pacification, but there is nothing we can do here to bring about complete normality, because we know we are in an anti-democracy.
About: approve amnesty
So, I believe that all these other people, both Bolsonaro and other people as well, who are, let's say, in a high rank, they will only be freed if indeed something extraordinary from God happens, or if we actually win the presidency next year and grant a pardon to each of these people and finally obtain this broad amnesty.
So, that's what I wanted to tell you here.
My heart.
Today, even during the meeting that was happening today and other matters, I was not at peace; I was worried.
