Bill championed by Tarcísio grants amnesty to Bolsonaro, PCC, criminal organizations, and militias.

“We want a broad, general, and unrestricted amnesty,” proclaimed Tarcísio de Freitas on Avenida Paulista, now stripped of his moderate technocrat disguise and dressed in the truculent, Bolsonaro-supporting attire.

The draft of the Bolsonaro-backed bill grants such unrestricted amnesty that it even benefits criminal organizations and, including, militias! Yes, militias! The Bolsonaro-backed bill states that, in addition to the coup plotters, members of "criminal organizations, criminal associations, or [those who participate in] the formation of private militias" will also be granted amnesty.

It is clear that we are facing an illegal political movement, because it is criminal. A movement of a fascist nature, organically linked to the underworld of organized crime.

The despicable proposal for amnesty for the coup plotters and traitors of the Nation could never be submitted to Congress. It resembles another project written in the style of the PCC – the untouchable and unaccountable amendment, only aborted due to the resounding public outcry.

It is clear that we are threatened by a fascist force-movement that bets on chaos, debacle, hybrid warfare, etc., as a power strategy of the criminal underworld that plunders the spoils of a homeland they want to hand over to Trump.

Popular outrage on social media and directed at parliamentarians brought down repugnant legislative proposals, such as the "rapist bill" and, as mentioned above, the "untouchable mobster" amendment.

The defeat of the amnesty proposed by the fascists is another decisive battle in the tenacious and ongoing struggle to crush fascism.

And let's face it: between democracy and crime, the vast majority of the people know the value of democracy, however imperfect it may be.
