The historical result, which breaks with the tradition of impunity for those who pay against the institutional order, now obtains a new chapter with the beginning of political discussions on the case at the national congress.
Jair Bolsonaro, who has always praised the 1964 coup d’état, has been sentenced to a regime initially closed, which must be carried out until the phase of funds in the Federal Supreme Court was exhausted. Some bet that the legal result will be by the end of the year.
The allies of the former president came in public to say that they considered the dimensions of the illegal punishment and insist that the stroke of state is not made is not a blow, as Minister Luiz Fux is now preaching.
For the jurist and professor of criminal law at FGV/RJ, Tiago Bottino, the result was already foreseen. “I understand that the penalty of Bolsonaro is at an expected margin. Some analysts have imagined that it could receive even higher sanctions, close to the maxims of each crime, but the speaker was held in the application and took into consideration the causes of increase and decrease provided by the penal code,” he said.
“Bolsonaro’s greatest penalty compared to other prisoners is a consequence of the leadership position in the crimes committed,” said Bottino.
In addition to Bolsonaro, the penalties of the STF for the central nucleus of the plot of the coup d’état were 26 years old for Walter Braga Netto, 24 years old for Almir Garnier, 24 for Anderson Torres, 21 years old for Augustus Heleno, 19 years for Paulo Sérgio Nogueira and 16 years and 1 month and 15 days for Alexandre Rammm. Mauro Cid was sentenced to 2 years in open regime.
Political hope
Bolsonaro wants to use the political resource that has yet to restore the situation by applying a direct equation: he will support those who will help him. And it has an important political weight on the right, especially in a dispute with Lula.
“In 2026 the right group, to have the possibility and be competitive, needs the support of Bolsonaro,” says the political scientist André Rosa. However, he sees no significant change in the electorate after the result of the experimentation.
“What you can see, having a more temporal cut, is that perhaps neither the left nor the right win, because this polarization, this ideological division is very proportional, we have an average of 50% on each side. I believe that the conviction strengthens the crowd from both sides,” said Rosa, who mentioned the example of lula in 2022:
“If we take recent history, Lula was condemned and immediately afterwards became President of the Republic. So I don’t think that, as for the voters, the result of the Stf has so much influence,” he said.
Electoral interests
Another analyst listened to by RFI, The scientist and consultant Leonardo Barreto stresses that the vote of Minister Fux for the acquittal of Bolsonaro and the time of time of the congress with the Supreme Court, for example, in the case of parliamentary amendments, help the former president, even if the result also depends on electoral interests.
“Today there would be a majority both in the Chamber and from the Senate for Amnestia. Now there is a discussion on the size of this amnesty for a reason. The Centrão wants the votes of Bolsonaro in 2026 in 2026, but does not want Bolsonaro’s leadership. On the other hand, the former president of the president wants to discuss this problem of 2026, but only with the former president who has fun in all his political rights.
The political scientist, however, cites two recent circumstances that can raise pressure for a change in the sentences at the congress. “The commitment of the governor of Paulista TarcÃsio de Freitas, who realized that if he did not position himself with more strength, he could say goodbye to the votes of Bolsonarist in 2026. Before Tarcisio spoke in the research, now he speaks of amnesty. And the second point is the vote of Fux. It is not that he created a collapse, but he gave the strength for the different interpretations in the Stf.”
Barreto says that it is difficult to predict.
“I don’t know if the amnesty will be approved, but I think it has the opportunity.”
And this can lead to a new clash with the Supreme Court, since the ministers have already reported that there is no constitutional support for this proposal. Hence the choir of those looking for a compromise, with reduction of sanctions. It remains to be seen if Bolsonaro would be satisfied and if he really had a cliff to ask for more.
