São Paulo Secretary of Public Security, Guilherme Derrite (PP), began to admit in conversations reserved for being a candidate for governor if Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans) decide to run for the Presidency of the Republic, according to two sources who talked about the subject with derrite. He had been resisting resistance to the Bandeirantes Palace because he considers that he has a well -referred election to the Senate.
The change would be the secretary’s belief that he would have support from Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and could make himself possible as the scholarship candidate in the dispute for the Bandeirantes Palace. The hindrance would be further embezzled the Senate Bolsonarist plate, which will no longer have federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP), self-examined in the United States and denounced by coercion. Bolsonaro’s group’s priority is to elect the maximum senators to impeach the Supreme Court (STF) ministers.
Sought, Derrite’s press office denied that he admitted the possibility of competing for the Bandeirantes Palace. “His focus is the Senate,” says the note sent to Estadão.

When Derrite exchanged the PL for the PP in May, Bolsonarist parliamentarians were bothered because they saw the event as a release of a pre-candidacy of the secretary to governor-the scolding was that it would imply that Tarcisio would be presidential to president, leaving Bolsonaro in the background.
“The will of the party is to launch the governor to derite, but it does not depend on us, it depends on him. With Eduardo’s departure, he consolidates himself as a senator. It is a very strong name because we believe that this election will be based on public safety,” said the president of the PP of Sao Paulo, Maurício Neves.
For him, it is first necessary to define the national plan – who will be the candidate for president of the group – then resolve the state plan. The mayor of the capital, Ricardo Nunes (MDB), the deputy governor, Felício Ramuth (PSD), the president of Alesp, André do Prado (PL), and the secretary of government, Gilberto Kassab, are also quoted to replace Tarcisio.

According to Neves, the party gave up the plan to anticipate the government’s departure from the government to the end of the year – by the electoral law, he would have to leave office only in April. The idea was that the secretary would resume his mandate as a federal deputy to report bills on the hardening of the criminal justice system.
The decision occurred after a dinner on Monday, 22, at the home of lawyer Fernando José da Costa, former secretary of justice in the government João Doria. Called by Derrite, the meeting was attended by Tarcisio, the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicans), the Commander-General of the Military Police, José Augusto Coutinho, the Civil Police Delegate, Artur Dian, Deputy Secretary of Public Security, Osvaldo Nico and Maurício Neves himself.
Motta indicated that he intends to guide in October or November a series of bills as a limitation of custody hearings and the end of regime progression for some crimes.

The idea was that Derrite had a prominent role in the discussions as a deputy, but, according to the president of PP Paulista, weighed the fact that there are a series of deliveries planned for the secretary to do until the beginning of 2026, such as vehicles and motorcycles and the inauguration of battalions of the Military Police and the Fire Department.
“He did not give up leaving the government to play this discussion in the House. He believes he can be as secretary and collaborate with the discussion on the subject,” said Derrite’s advisory.
“The meeting aimed to discuss effective legislative actions to address organized crime, criminal recurrence and impunity in Brazil. The whole group believes that the reduction of insecurity will happen from integrated work between all spheres, from civil society to parliament,” the note continues.

Another goal of the dinner was to demonstrate support and political support from the Tarcisio government and the PP to Hugo Motta, which at that moment was being criticized from both the left and the right. The meeting took place one day after the demonstrations took to the country’s streets against the PEC of the Armage approved by the House of Representatives and the amnesty, which had the urgency approved by the deputies.
Motta was also criticized by her pockets for choosing Deputy Paulinho da Força (solidarity) as rapporteur of the amnesty project. The parliamentarian has already indicated that, instead of judicial forgiveness to Bolsonaro and those convicted of January 8, will make a text just predicting the reduction of penalties.
Derrite has faced challenges ahead of São Paulo public security. The latest is the murder of former Civil Police general, Ruy Ferraz Fontes, in Praia Grande (SP). According to the secretary, one of the suspects of shooting is arrested and there is no doubt about the involvement of the First Capital Command (CCP).

In addition, according to the latest data from the Brazilian Public Security Forum, São Paulo was the state with the largest increase in deaths from police officers last year. There were 813 occurrences in 2024, compared to 504 in 2023. There were also a series of cases of police violence between the end of last year and the beginning of this year they pressed, but Tarcisio chose to keep him in office.
