The president, deputy, decided to articulate the adoption of the model from the 2030 election onwards. It would have the advantage of blocking candidates linked to criminal organizations.
This is a scam. The district vote, whether simple or mixed, would have the same influence as Saturn’s rings in containing the advance of organized crime in politics. What he intends, in the current proposal, is to elect candidates without voting, sponsored by party chiefs or anyone else.
He taught that what was not achieved under Institutional Act No. 5 (1968-1978) will never happen. For example, the charging of annual fees at public universities or district voting. He has been around politics for more than half a century.
At first glance, this type of voting brings elected officials closer to their voters. It divides states into districts, and each of them elects a deputy. Okay, the system works in and around us, but one question remains: who will design the districts? Taking Rio’s electoral map, a district can be created in which Rocinha would be swallowed by Barra da Tijuca. With another design, Barra would be swallowed up by the voters of Cidade de Deus.
This is the difficulty of simple district voting, like the American one, but people in the center want a mixed system in which the figure of the closed list emerges, which elects part of the bench based on choices made by the chiefs.
If organized crime manages to infiltrate the current system, it is obvious that your life will be easier with the new development. The issue of public security has become a wasteland in which crazy ideas are thrown around. After all, when you call a killing “”, anything can happen.
The simple district vote is a serious matter and deserves to be discussed. The mixed model, on the other hand, carries dangerous vulnerabilities, as with the lists candidates would be elected without votes. In theory, they would elect personalities who have a lot of value and few votes. In practice, they will be able to elect consiglieri from criminal factions, without value or vote.
Today, senators have substitutes, often chosen from among campaign financiers. Last July, businessman Breno Barbosa Chaves Pinto, the senator’s second deputy (União Brasil-AP), suffered the embarrassment of finding himself involved in an investigation into the . In 2018, businessman Joel Malucelli, a former deputy to the senator, was arrested. If the substitutes spree taught anything, it served to expose the danger of electing those who sign checks.
The project that creates the mixed district system was approved in the Senate in 2017 and has been in a Chamber committee ever since. It’s about waking him up, guiding him towards possible approval. All in the dark, with the firepower of the center.
The project approved in 2017 was authored by the then senator. Candidate for deputy in the 2022 election, he received 89 thousand votes, but was not elected.
