Proposal aims to strengthen the Union’s performance in facing organized crime, including changes in the duties of the Federal Police and the creation of the Federal Road Police, replacing the PRF
The president of the House of Representatives emphasized the “convergence” among parliamentarians in relation to PEC of public safety, underlining the importance and urgency of the subject. ”If Brazil were a patient, I would say that our patient has severe cancer, and we cannot treat light medicines. We need to be energetic,” he said. The proposal aims to strengthen the Union’s performance in facing organized crime, including changes in the attributions of the Federal Police and the creation of the Federal Road Police. Proposal will be filed next week, starting its process at the Constitution and Justice Commission before going to a special committee.
The ministers (justice) and (International Relations), who attended a meeting with Motta and the leaders of the Neta Morning House, showed optimism about the processing, recognizing the relevance of the debate in the National Congress. “We have done several structuring reforms. Now the executive and legislature owes to society the discussion of public security, which worries the ordinary citizen,” said the Minister of Justice.
Despite the support, PEC faces opposition from some parliamentarians, who raise concerns about their implications. However, the Ministry of Justice considers the proposal “mature” and ready to be discussed. Among the controversial aspects are the expansion of the functions of the Federal Police and the creation of a new federal police force.
In addition, the proposal includes the constitutionalization of the Unified Public Security System (SUSP) and the expansion of the competences of municipal civil guards. The Ministry of Justice reaffirms that PEC is a priority on the House agenda, seeking a significant advance in public security policies.
