The proposal is for Datina to receive guests to discuss various topics, with a focus on public security, an area in which the journalist has worked for decades. Although it characterized Brazilian television with highly rated police programmes, columnist Datina highlighted that some of its main exclusive programs took place in political interviews. At various times, he hosted both Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Jair Bolsonaro live when they were president.
According to the writer, the invitation to the presenter was approved by Lula himself, who received him on Monday (the first) at the Palacio do Planalto. The two have been friends for decades.
According to sources heard by O GLOBO, the focus of the interview programme, at least initially, is to address the issue of public security, and Datena should seek to speak to figures such as federal MP Guilherme Dirret (PP-SP), rapporteur of the anti-factionalism bill, which aims to tighten laws against organized crime.
