The tiny Huguinho Motta, president of the Chamber, suffered yet another failure when he selected Guilherme Derrite, a deputy on leave from the mandate, as rapporteur for the Anti-Faction bill, by the Lula government, which toughens the fight against organized crime.
Motta’s justification: Derrite is the Security Secretary of São Paulo, the most populous and developed state in the country. He is also a police officer with extensive experience. In his opinion, no one would be a better rapporteur than him. Furthermore, Motta could name him, and he did.
Motta pretends to forget that Derrite had 16 deaths under his belt at the time he put on the uniform. Who once said that a good police officer is one who has killed at least three criminals. And the lethality of the São Paulo police has increased since he became secretary.
If that wasn’t enough, Derrite is a right-wing extremist, a devotee of Bolsonaro, aspiring for a seat in the Senate, and respected by governor Tarcísio de Freitas, who, if he can, will be a candidate for president against Lula next year. If you can…
What resulted in another amateur maneuver by Motta? In what is there. Derrite arrived in Brasília trying to impose his ideas that, in short, would strengthen organized crime instead of weakening it. And he was forced to retreat from them once, twice, three times.
If you want your report to be approved, you will have to modify it a few more times. The so-called “Consortium of the Right”, made up of governors from half a dozen states, asked Motta to postpone the vote on Derrite’s report for 30 days.
Motta intends to vote on it next week to disguise the embarrassment he has gotten himself into. At this point, for the government, it doesn’t matter what it did. The right has already given him the speech that it was she who wanted to boycott the fight against crime, and not him.
No one is more complicit in organized crime than the right. Once Bolsonaro’s head is cut off, it wanders around like a dizzy cockroach. No command. Without a government project for the country. Fragmented. On the way to another defeat.
