Majority rejects amnesty for coup plotters, says Datafolha; see the numbers
A Datafolha poll released this Friday, January 1st, shows that 55% of Brazilians reject an amnesty for the coup plotters involved in the January 8, 2023 , coup, while 35% approve. In the previous round, in April, the figures were 56% and 37%, respectively.
The institute interviewed 2,004 people between Tuesday 29th and Wednesday 30th. The margin of error is two percentage points.
Opposition to a possible pardon for coup plotters was once more significant. In March 2024, 63% rejected the amnesty and 31% endorsed it. Last December, the figures were 62% and 33%, respectively.
Respondents answered the following question: “Are you for or against an amnesty, that is, freeing from punishment those responsible for the invasion and vandalism of the STF, Congress and Planalto Palace buildings on January 8, 2023?”
