PEC of Armage
The proposal provided for a change in the Constitution so that deputies and senators were not prosecuted criminally without prior license from the House or Senate, respectively. The vote would be by secret vote of parliamentarians.
PEC was approved by the majority of the Chamberfrom an articulation made by most of the House leaders with the support of the Opposition led by the Liberal Party (PL).
Defenders of the measure say that the proposal is a reaction to what they call the abuse of power of the Supreme Court (STF) and that the measures restore original prerogatives provided for in the 1988 Constitution, but which were later altered.
Last Sunday (21), manifestations contrary to the proposal were held throughout the country.
For experts and entities that work in the fight against corruption, PEC could block criminal actions against corruption in the use of parliamentary amendments.
