Motta postpones the vote on PL Antifaction due to lack of consensus and schedules a session for Tuesday

Brasilia – Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB) postponed voting on the draft anti-factional law proposed by the government of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva until next Tuesday, corresponding to the 18th of this month, after a request from the same rapporteur. Guilherme Dayret (PP-SP), due to the disagreements that still exist over the text.

“In response to the request of many parliamentary colleagues, I am urgently requesting that Your Excellency be able to set a deadline for this debate on Tuesday next week so that these corrections can be amended so that we do not risk losing this great opportunity,” Dirrett said.

The government continues to criticize the text of the decision and says that Derret’s opinion weakens the federal police and causes “budget fragmentation.” This is what was said, for example, by the leader of the Labor Party in the Chamber, Lindbergh Farias (Labor Party).

The text also upset the Ministry of Justice. “If this text is approved as it is, we will drop a bomb on the current system of combating criminal organizations,” said Marivaldo Pereira, the ministry’s Secretary for Legislative Affairs.

Dirit submitted the fourth version of its alternative report on Wednesday night, 12 this month, in response to another request from the government, which included providing resources to the federal police in the case of assets seized in operations against criminal organizations.

Corporate Relations Minister Glycy Huffman said earlier that Durrett’s previous report encouraged the “decapitalization” of the national police by directing resources from federal funds and allocating them to the states.

He stated, “The decision returned to not removing the powers of the federal police, but left the abolition of the capital of the federal police. That is by emptying all federal funds, dividing these funds and distributing them to the states and leaving nothing for the federal government. This worries us greatly, because the federal police needs resources for its operations.”

In the new opinion, Derrett says that the allocation of seized assets should go to the Public Security Fund of the state in question, if the crime is investigated by local authorities; To the Fund for the Equipment and Operation of Basic Activities of the Federal Police (Funapol), if the crime is investigated by the Federal Police. If there is joint work, resources are divided equally.

For Labor members, this “decapitalization” continues in the text. Marivaldo points out, for example, that most of the resources obtained by the federal police came from the National Anti-Drug Fund (FONAD), not from Fonapol.

They also point out that competition with the Criminal Organizations Act would also cause “legal chaos.” “Criminals will be able to ask questions, file countless appeals and delay proceedings. What is this ‘hyper-violent organization’? How does it differ from a regular criminal organization? This is not in the script,” Marivaldo reflects.

Lindbergh also criticized this point. He said: “The rapporteur insists on inventing categories that have no legal basis, such as ‘extremely violent organization’, in an attempt to erase the strict terminology of ‘criminal faction’ introduced in the original text of the federal government. This kind of conceptual improvisation weakens criminal policy, confuses legal practitioners and hides the real goal: to distort the technical and consistent proposal of the executive branch, replacing it with a pile of empty concepts and contradictory tools.”

Throughout Wednesday, Derrett visited the party’s leadership rooms to collect suggestions for changes to the wording of the bill. The main indicators of change came from the government.

In addition to the conversation with the government leader, José Guimarães (PT-CE), Mota spoke with deputies from the Republic, PSD, PP and Uniao Brasil.
