Renan assures that the Senate will not approve amnesty for electoral crimes.
Renan Calheiros' statement is a reaction to the attempt by deputies to include an amendment in the package of 10 anti-corruption measures that would pardon undeclared campaign contributions; "The Senate will not vote on any bill involving potential amnesties for electoral campaigns, sparing the President of the Republic from vetoing or sanctioning matters of this nature," says the note released by the Senate president's press office.
247 - The president of the Senate, Renan Calheiros (PMDB), stated, through a press release, that the House will not approve any amnesty for crimes committed during election campaigns. Renan's statement is a reaction to the attempt by deputies to include an amendment in the package of 10 anti-corruption measures that would pardon undeclared campaign contributions.
"Senator Renan Calheiros announces that the Federal Senate has an agenda set until the end of the year, resulting from an understanding between the leaders of all parties. Because of this agenda, the Senate will not vote on any bill involving potential amnesties for electoral campaigns, thus sparing the President of the Republic from having to veto or approve matters of this nature," the statement reads.
This Sunday, President Michel Temer will meet with Renan and the Speaker of the House, Rodrigo Maia (DEM).
