Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has authorized former President Jair Bolsonaro, currently under house arrest for violating precautionary measures, to receive visits from family members and certain deputies without prior permission. Bolsonaro's detention has sparked protests by pro-Bolsonaro deputies who have obstructed legislative activities in the Chamber of Deputies. In response, Chamber President Hugo Motta scheduled a session for August 6, 2025, warning that deputies obstructing proceedings could face suspension for up to six months. The Police Legislative was deployed to remove deputies blocking the session, leading to confrontations between government and opposition members. Motta condemned the obstruction as detrimental to the legislative process and democracy, emphasizing the need to follow constitutional rules. Following the disruptions, Motta and the Chamber's board filed complaints against several deputies involved in the occupation, including Marcel van Hattem, Julia Zanatta, Marcos Pollon, Camila Jara, and Zé Trovão, recommending suspensions. Meanwhile, Bolsonaro appealed his house arrest order. Separately, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed into law a bill to streamline Brazil's environmental licensing process but vetoed 63 provisions considered harmful to ecological protections. Lula described the vetoes as necessary to balance economic development with environmental preservation, aiming to inaugurate a new cycle of prosperity. The environmental legislation and Bolsonaro's detention continue to generate political tensions amid ongoing debates in Congress.
