On Tuesday, chaos broke out in Brazil's lower house ahead of a successful vote on a sentence-reduction bill for Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro. Leftist MP Glauber Braga was forcibly removed by police after denouncing a 'coup offensive' and occupying the Speaker's chair.
Brazil's lower house of Congress approved a bill early on Wednesday, December 10, that could drastically reduce the sentence of former president Jair Bolsonaro, who has been serving 27 years in jail for staging a coup. If ratified by the Senate, the 70-year-old far-right leader, who has been behind bars since late November, could see his sentence cut to just over two years.

Consequences?! For a conservative politician?! It was a surprise to see him get anything at all, honestly. Nice to see them kinda sorta try at least, far better than i can say for us here in the US

This will be hard to pass there, the far right doesn't have enough votes to do that without converting many votes from the "liberal" right

I've since been informed even some STF ministers acknowledge and support the bill, so scratch that.... it will pass
EDIT: STF = Brazillian supreme court
