The Brazilian Congress canceled Tuesday's sessions following a boycott by far-right parliamentarians who wanted to present a bill to grant amnesty to those accused of a coup d'état, which would benefit former president Jair Bolsonaro.

With stickers in their mouths, far-right parliamentarians occupied the Senate tables on Tuesday to show their support for former Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro, who has been sentenced to house arrest, according to the Brazilian press.

The parliamentarians denounced alleged censorship by the Supreme Court, which banned the former president of Brazil from broadcasting messages on his social networks and those of third parties.

Faced with this scenario, the presidents of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta, and the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre, canceled the plenary session, but insisted on respect and dialog to discuss the issues on the institutional agenda.

During the protests, the opposition promised to obstruct votes until the bill to grant amnesty to those accused of the coup is approved and is hoping for popular support, as well as that of the US.

In addition to the more than 30 impeachment requests already filed in the Senate against Minister Alexandre Moraes and the public support of 38 senators for his opening, the opposition is betting on the worsening political, institutional and international scenarios as a trigger for a broader and more effective reaction from Congress.
