Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes decided on Saturday to suspend the application of the Dosimetry Law, which reduces sentences for those convicted in the January 8 attacks. The measure awaits the Court's plenary analysis of the constitutionality of the rule promulgated by Congress on Friday. Reactions from opposition and government politicians followed quickly.
On the third anniversary of the January 8, 2023, attacks, President Lula fully vetoed the dosimetry bill at a Palácio do Planalto event, confirming earlier indications and rejecting penalty reductions for convicts including Jair Bolsonaro. Opposition vows to override, while a São Paulo rally against the bill saw clashes.

President Lula will formally announce his veto of the Dosimetria Bill—previously passed by Congress to ease penalties for Jair Bolsonaro and January 8 convicts—at a January 8, 2026, event marking the coup attacks' third anniversary. Planalto sources say allies, not the Executive, would challenge any congressional override in the STF.
