Quaest: 54% of MPs support bill that provides for reduced sentences for those convicted for the January 8th events.
Hugo Motta's approval rating among opposition lawmakers has fallen after the decision not to schedule a vote on the amnesty bill.
247 - A survey by Quaest, released this Wednesday (2), shows that 54% of federal deputies support the bill that proposes, instead of amnesty, the reduction of sentences for those convicted for the coup attacks of January 8, while 24% are against the measure.
When evaluating the opinion of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), the amnesty also weighs heavily in the minds of opposition parliamentarians.
Since taking office in February, 68% of deputies say they approve of the Speaker's performance. Support is even higher among government supporters, reaching 77%. Among opposition members, the approval rating is 47%, with some criticism focused on the decision not to schedule a vote on the amnesty bill for those involved in the coup attempts of January 8th.
Conducted between May 7 and June 30, the Quaest survey, commissioned by Genial Investimentos, polled 203 federal deputies—representing 40% of the Chamber. The margin of error is 4,5 percentage points, plus or minus.
