Nikolas Ferreira

Nikolas Ferreira
1:02
And here there's a very important point that I need you to understand.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:07
About: reduce custodial sentences
These people, let's suppose they're 100 hostages; if you say we're going to take 50 of those hostages out, that's already a step.
Why it was classified this way · 85% confidence advocates taking a partial step by releasing half of the 'reféns'.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:15
About: reduce custodial sentences
So we're taking a step to be able to get these people out and put them back in their homes.
Why it was classified this way · 85% confidence states that the goal is to take people out of jail and put them at home.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:20
So today we talked with Paulinho, we hammered out the text, there was something in it.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:24
About: reduce custodial sentences
Which, moreover, Deputy Bia Kicis, in a very smart and important way, asked to modify, but he assured us that people with sentences under 17 years will be freed, will be at home.
Why it was classified this way · 80% confidence reports an amendment guaranteeing the release of prisoners with sentences under 17 years.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:39
So, what am I trying to say with this?
Nikolas Ferreira
1:42
That we were together in the CPMI of the 8th for six months, indeed.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:47
I was there at every session, every action we took.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:52
We even made 10-episode documentaries about the absurd cases that were happening on the 8th.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:00
We even went to Papuda; I visited personally, in fact, when Clesão was still alive there in Papuda.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:05
I saw face to face both the women in Colmeia and also the men in Papuda.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:10
We peacefully occupied the table here in order to put pressure.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:14
About: approve amnesty
We approved the urgency of the PL (Liberal Party) of the amnesty and today we arrived here.
Why it was classified this way · 75% confidence states that the amnesty bill's urgency was approved — procedural report.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:20
At one moment, I need you to understand something: that we are in a completely disadvantaged position.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:26
We don't have Alexandre de Moraes on our side, we don't have the Supreme Court, we don't have the President of the Republic — on the contrary, our leader is imprisoned — we don't have the media on our side to fight for the amnesty, we don't have the artists, let's say, the majority of them who make those little black-and-white videos with a pitiful look.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:46
With a little musical background, we don't have the President of the Chamber nor the President of the Senate.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:52
So we're in a disadvantaged position.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:55
But, Nicolas, wasn't this the most conservative Congress of all time?
Nikolas Ferreira
2:57
Indeed.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:58
Previously, if there were 10 or 5 conservatives here, indeed, that was a lot.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:03
Today we are perhaps 70, 80, but it's far, far, far from being the ideal number, I confess.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:09
And that's why you need to understand that it's not that we're doing the minimum.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:13
We are doing the maximum with the resources we have.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:16
About: reduce custodial sentences
So I ask that you understand this, that we are here fighting to be able to free these hostages, free these innocents, because if half a dozen — and it isn't half a dozen, it's many more families — families go home, are with their children, a father finds his daughter, a mother can lie down in her bed, even Débora's lawyer, the one from Batom, who got 17 years and wrote, lost a nena, a statue.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence asks for understanding because they are fighting to free 'reféns' — defends the measure.
Nikolas Ferreira

has already declared support for this project as well.

About: reduce custodial sentences

Why it was classified this way · 75% confidence reports that a relative asked them to vote in favor of the bill.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:52
I'm simply speaking here and declaring to you the importance of this day and, above all, what you understand.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:58
We are taking a step, a step toward pacification, but there is nothing we can do here to bring about complete normality, because we know we are in an anti-democracy.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:08
About: approve amnesty
So, I believe that all these other people, both Bolsonaro and other people as well, who are, let's say, in a high rank, they will only be freed if indeed something extraordinary from God happens, or if we actually win the presidency next year and grant a pardon to each of these people and finally obtain this broad amnesty.
Why it was classified this way · 82% confidence states that if they win the presidency, they will grant widespread pardon and amnesty.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:29
So, that's what I wanted to tell you here.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:31
My heart.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:32
Today, even during the meeting that was happening today and other matters, I was not at peace; I was worried.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:38
And in fact, there hasn't been a single day that this has ceased to be a concern for me.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:43
On the contrary.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:46
You can look at my posts, both on Twitter and on Facebook, and on YouTube, all of that.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:50
I have fought a lot because I put myself in their place.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:52
When you become a father, you realize that a day away from your daughter feels like an eternity.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:59
About: reduce custodial sentences
So today, if this vote takes place — because there was a fuss here from the left — if this vote happens today or tomorrow... Rest assured that I will think of these people and so that these hostages are freed.
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence says that, when voting, they will think of people to free them — indicates support.
Nikolas Ferreira
5:13
Let's continue, and with short but vigorous steps, we will change this country.
Nikolas Ferreira
5:16
Don't give up.
Nikolas Ferreira
5:17
Don't give up; I'm doing my utmost here as well not to give up.
Nikolas Ferreira
5:20
Brazil is ours.
