BRASILIA, Brazil, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Brazilian President Michel Temer said he will block legislation granting amnesty for politicians who received illegal campaign contributions as part of the Petrobras corruption investigation.
Brazilian lawmakers in the lower house on Tuesday will vote on a bill in which an amendment proposes that politicians who received undeclared donations in previous elections would be granted amnesty. The proposal is widely unpopular in Brazil and thousands of Brazilians have taken to the streets in protest in the past month.
