This Tuesday (11), the president of the Chamber, Hugo Motta, may postpone the vote on the Anti-Faction bill until tomorrow, Wednesday (12). The deputy rapporteur of the project, Guilherme Derrite, promoted changes to the text, but the changes were not enough to eliminate resistance. The decision aims to converge opinion between government and opposition on the text.
Melts said that the role of the Federal Police will not be reduced. This speech comes in the middle The criticisms made by the corporation, in which it posted a note warning of the risk of weakening the fight against organized crime, said that the execution of operations would depend on a request from the state government, which could limit the corporation’s actions against large-scale criminal organizations.
Even after the adjustments, the report highlighted sensitive points, such as the obligation for the PF to notify local authorities before carrying out operations in the states, which, for the corporation, could lead to information leaks. The text also clarifies that the actions of the Federal Police do not automatically transfer cases to federal justice.
Among government supporters, there is concern that the project could hinder investigations involving parliamentary amendments, opening legal gaps in the jurisdiction of the Justice. PT leader in the Chamber, Lindbergh Farias, warned that “even investigations into parliamentary amendments could be harmed, there will be a discussion about whether the case should be judged by the Federal or State Courts”. The opposition accuses Planalto of politicizing a technical debate. The leader of Novo, Marcel Van Hattem, countered the criticism and stated that the text does not compromise cooperation between security forces, highlighting that “state police and the Federal Police will continue to work together whenever necessary to solve crimes”.
This Tuesday, Motta had a meeting with the Minister of Justice, Ricardo Lewandowski. According to him, there are “unconstitutionalities” in the text and warned that, if approved, the project could be questioned in the Federal Supreme Court, increasing the tension between the powers.
Unlike Motta, Planalto is trying to change the vote to next week. However, the president of the Chamber has reiterated that parliament will not allow the Federal Police to lose its prerogatives and that no measure will put national sovereignty at risk.
