Motta admits he would schedule the amnesty vote for January 8th if that is the decision of the majority of leaders in the Chamber.
The Speaker of the House reaffirms his commitment to the agenda when there is consensus among the leaders.
247 – The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), declared that he will schedule the amnesty bill for those involved in the acts of January 8th if that is the decision of the majority of party leaders. According to Motta, the topic was not included on the agenda previously due to a decision by a majority representing more than 400 deputies, but the opposition intends to bring the discussion back in the next meetings.
Em interview Speaking to the Metrópoles portal this Thursday (7), the parliamentarian stressed: “I made a point of telling the opposition that the Presidency cannot be prejudiced against any agenda” — also highlighting: “I told the left that we cannot be prejudiced against the 6x1 agenda [reduction of the work scale], regulation of networks. We are not prejudiced against any agenda, it is not up to the president to veto any agenda”.
Motta reinforced his principle that "above the Presidency, there is a Plenary" and that, "Whether you like the subject or not"If a favorable political environment and majority support exist, the president must know how to listen to the leaders. He recalled that he was elected representing a broad front that brings together parties from the left to the right, emphasizing that he cannot ignore the will of the majority. Furthermore, he acknowledged some unease in Parliament regarding certain decisions of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), stating: “Some encroachments on prerogatives, interference by the Judiciary in the Legislative branch [...] Sometimes, anti-Supreme Court and anti-Judiciary agendas end up having reciprocal solidarity because of this unease.” However, he added that “it is also the duty of everyone who sets the agenda to focus on what is important to strengthen prerogatives.” Finally, he said he sees himself as a “guardian of prerogatives.”
Second determination of the ValueAmong centrist leaders and powerful figures in Congress, there is a growing perception that this may be an opportune moment to resume the debate on parliamentary prerogatives—a topic already raised in the previous administration, but without concrete progress.
