Congress approved the PL da Dosimetria, but the federal government decided to ignore its humanitarian aspects, leading President Lula to veto the text in full and leaving hundreds of defendants behind bars for the holidays.
Congress approved the PL da Dosimetria, which would reduce punishment criteria for some convicted of the 8 January 2023 acts, but the federal government decided to ignore its humanitarian aspects. President Lula will veto the text in full, leaving hundreds of defendants, including those not in leadership positions, to spend Christmas and New Year behind bars.
Critics interpret this as a gesture of political and social insensitivity.
The veto was signaled by Senate leader Jaques Wagner on 22, with Lula expected to sign the decision by 8 January 2026, the third anniversary of the 8 January invasion. Wagner said the president would perform a political act on that date to keep the memory alive, and Lula had previously stated he would veto the project as soon as it reached the table.
