Brazil’s Congress faced disorder as conservative lawmakers pushed for a law aiming to lessen the prison sentence of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Amid the chaotic scene, a left-wing lawmaker was forcibly removed by the police for disrupting proceedings, and scuffles broke out as security attempted to restore order. Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years in prison in November for attempting a coup following his defeat in the 2022 election. Conservative allies in Congress proposed a law to diminish sentences for coup-related offenses and release dozens of Bolsonaro supporters who stormed government buildings. Court documents revealed that Bolsonaro’s legal team officially requested permission for him to leave prison for surgery, seeking to serve his sentence under house arrest due to health issues. The fate of Bolsonaro continues to be a contentious issue in Brazil, where his allies are exploring various avenues to exonerate him. The latest initiative to reduce the 70-year-old’s sentence involves proposing a law that revises punishments for elected officials, significantly cutting sentences for the crimes Bolsonaro and his convicted associates committed. The proposal would reduce Bolsonaro’s sentence to two years and four months in prison.
