President Bolsonaro pardons Daniel Silveira following his conviction in the STF, third way parties will hold a meeting on Monday to discuss a possible alliance, and the House may vote on the Auxílio Brasil provisional measure next week

BRAZIL POLITICS - Report 22 Apr 2022 by Murillo de Aragão and Cristiano Noronha

Politically, it pleases Bolsonaro’s supporters, but it definitely aggravates the institutional conflict between the executive and judicial branches. There will be no holidays next week, so it will tend to be a busy one in Brasilia.
