The Brazilian Chamber of Deputies experienced significant disruptions as government and opposition deputies clashed, impeding President Hugo Motta from speaking in the plenary. On August 6, Motta ordered the Legislative Police to remove bolsonarist deputies who were obstructing parliamentary work, threatening suspension of their mandates for up to six months. Despite initial resistance, Motta managed to convene a session at 8:30 p.m., emphasizing that the presidency of the Chamber is non-negotiable and that parliamentary prerogatives would not be compromised. Following a day marked by turmoil, Motta called for calm and dialogue to build consensus. Meanwhile, political leaders from the PL, Progressistas, and União Brasil parties reportedly reached an agreement to advance two key legislative items: a constitutional amendment proposal (PEC) to end foro privilegiado (special legal jurisdiction) for deputies and senators, and an amnesty bill. Senator Ciro Nogueira, president of the Progressistas party, advocated for the amnesty vote to proceed to address issues important to Brazil's population. In the Senate, despite 41 signatures supporting the impeachment of Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes, Senate President Davi Alcolumbre has refused to schedule the impeachment process, stating it will not proceed regardless of support numbers. Alcolumbre's stance was supported by Nogueira, who noted that the decision rests with the Senate President. The Senate is also expected to request the Supreme Federal Court (STF) to reconsider and remove Senator Marcos do Val, who may regain his salary after being blocked due to non-compliance with precautionary measures. The political climate remains tense, with ongoing debates over judicial authority and parliamentary immunity.

“Um senador me disse, em tom de lamento, como ele percebe que a Casa se arrepende de já ter aprovado o fim do foro privilegiado. Na visão desse senador, muito experiente, os deputados que estão pedindo isso não sabem o risco que é ficar nas mãos de um juiz de primeira instância”, https://t.co/7VWzZBiL3c
