The rejection strains Lula's alliances, particularly in Minas Gerais, ahead of the 2026 electoral cycle.
"Senators described public pressure comparable to the period of Dilma Rousseff's impeachment."

Brazil Congress overrides veto on sentencing bill
The Brazilian Congress voted to override President Lula's veto of the so-called Dosimetria bill, which adjusts sentencing guidelines for political crimes. The move is expected to reduce or reframe penalties for roughly 600 people convicted in connection with the January 8, 2023 attacks on government buildings in Brasília. The decision also has potential implications for former president Jair Bolsonaro, who faces separate legal proceedings. Lula had vetoed the bill on the grounds that it would weaken accountability for the insurrection.
"The Congress's override of the veto directly benefits those convicted for the January 8 attacks, including potentially Bolsonaro himself."
