Overview
- Senators voted 48–25 for the so‑called Dosimetria bill, which could cut Bolsonaro’s 27‑year term to a little over two years by reducing penalties and preventing sentence stacking.
- The Supreme Federal Court dismissed a renewed appeal as inadmissible, with Alexandre de Moraes leading a decision that left Bolsonaro’s conviction intact.
- De Moraes authorized a temporary hospital leave for a hernia operation but refused a switch to house arrest, citing prior violations including damage to an electronic monitor.
- Large demonstrations opposed the sentence reduction, with nearly 19,000 protesters reported in Rio de Janeiro and rallies also in São Paulo and Brasília.
- Parliament president Hugo Motta published the loss of Eduardo Bolsonaro’s mandate after chronic absences while abroad, adding to setbacks for the ex-president’s circle.
