After decreed yesterday (4) house arrest From former President Jair Bolsonaro, the opposition gathered at the National Congress occupied the directors of the Senate and House plenary tables on Tuesday (5).
The senators and deputies involved in the action promise to stay in places until the presidents of the legislative houses cancel the planned session or accept to guide the general and unrestricted amnesty to those convicted of attempted coup. They also claim that the request for impeachment of the Minister of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Alexandre de Moraes.
At a press conference in front of the National Congress, opposition parliamentarians criticized Moraes’s decision that determined the house arrest of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
The former president’s son, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-SP), explained that the measures required by the opposition aim to “pacify” Brazil.
“The first measure of this peacekeeper we want to propose is the impeachment of Minister Alexandre de Moraes who has no ability to represent the highest court in the country,” said the parliamentarian.
The Senate Opposition leader, Senator Rogério Marinho (PL-RN), charged that Senate President David Alcolumbre (Union-AP), guide the impeachment of Moraes.
“We occupied the directors of the two houses, in the Senate and the House, and we will obstruct the sessions. The Senate is already with five senators sitting on the table. It is an extreme measure, we understand, but it has been more than 15 days that I, as leader of the opposition, can not dwell with David Alcolumbre,” he said.
In addition to the amnesty and impeachment of Moraes, the opposition also requires the vote on the Proposal of Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) for the end of the privileged forum. Thus, former President Bolsonaro would no longer be tried by the Supreme, but by the first instance. Although they demand the measure to “pacify Brazil,” as the parliamentarians said PL leader, Sostenes Cavalcante (PL-RJ) said the group will “perform for war.” “There will be no peace in Brazil until there is no conciliation speech, which goes through the amnesty, the change of the end of the forum and the impeachment of Moraes,” he said.
Motta and Alcohumbre have not yet spoken about the opposition action until the publication of this report.

“Given the facts that present themselves, I want to register and have already communicated to President Hugo Motta that, at the first moment I hold the full presidency of the House of Representatives, that is, when the President Motta leaves the country, I will guide the amnesty. This is the only way to pacify the country,” said the parliamentarian.
