Segpres Minister Giorgio Jackson was available to postpone the vote on the Amnesty project in the Senate for a week if they do not have the necessary support or the quorum is not met. He also assured that no pro-government parliamentarian has indicated that he will reject the initiative.
The Minister of the General Secretariat of the PresidencyGiorgio Jackson, affirmed that the pro-government senators “agree” with the amnesty project for prisoners for causes derived from the so-called Social Outbreak.
He also said that at the return of the district week they will continue with the conversations on the processing of the project. In this context, he announced on Channel 13’s Central Table that “You can renew the urgency and give it one more week and see if we can get the votes.”
The government authority assured that the official senators “There is no one who has told me that they are going to vote once morestbecause in addition a much broader consensus was achieved and modifications in the Constitution Commission that make it much more limited”.
Available to postpone vote
He acknowledges that there is still support to be obtained, but he is optimistic in believing that when they read the project they will realize that it is not the one that “is caricatured from the beginning” and that currently “it is super limited.”
Therefore, he trusts that a consensus will be reached.
Jackson announced that if the votes are not reached on Tuesday or if the quorum is not met, he is available to give another week to the discussion and obtain the necessary support for its approval.
Regarding the elimination of Senate and the criticism of the independent senator Fabiola Campillai, the minister expressed that “I do not agree that it is the place (the Senate) where things are stopped.”
Asked regarding the demonstrations in Plaza Italia, Jackson said that “all the protests that have come following the social outbreak have these two focuses: a rivalry between protesters and police, and the slogan that there be justice for the issues of human rights violations. ”.
