The () team is betting on the approval of as a way to prevent the political wear and tear caused by the deputy (PP-SP), the removed secretary of Public Security, from falling on the governor, who is expected to contest elections next year.
An assistant to Tarcísio told the Sheet that the governor considers the issue open and assesses that the approval of a text toughening penalties will reduce penalties during the bill’s processing in the Chamber.
The perception at Palácio dos Bandeirantes is that the crisis generated by Derrite’s project can be reversed if the final text is approved this week.
Tarcísio’s team expects that the secretary, who is an elected federal deputy and was dismissed from the government to report the text in the Chamber, will return to the secretariat within two weeks. But he must leave state management permanently before April, as he intends to run for the Senate in 2026.
Faced with the crisis, there is the possibility that the solution will be — Tarcísio’s allies and Bolsonarist parliamentarians are discussing a scenario without Derrite’s return to the ministry if he fails to approve the project. The governor on other occasions and members of the base saw the crisis as an opportunity to try to advance his withdrawal from the government.
Pressure on Derrite increased after he faced resistance from the government, the opposition, the Federal Police and members of the Public Ministry. In addition to criticism of the technical fragility of the proposals, parties in the center complained about the issue during the negotiations.
The first version prepared by Derrite weakened the actions of the PF and the operation of the Rio de Janeiro police against the Comando Vermelho, on October 28, which left 121 people dead. The text was also used by PT members to accuse the Chamber of trying to revive , a proposal that limits punishments to parliamentarians.
Derrite’s dismissal was published in the Official Gazette on the 6th. The following day, he filed the first version of his replacement in the Chamber. The articulation planned to vote on the text on Tuesday (11), but successive revisions led Cláudio Castro (PL), from Rio, and other right-wing governors to . The deputy, however, is trying to approve it this week.
The secretary left the São Paulo government to report on the project presented by the Lula government as a response to the operation in Rio. He is an elected federal deputy and was appointed rapporteur by the president of the Chamber, (Republicanos-PB).
During an event at Palácio dos Bandeirantes this Thursday (13), Tarcísio was questioned about the assistant’s actions, but avoided commenting on the crisis directly and defended changes in legislation to toughen penalties.
“It’s a complex topic and it has to be handled carefully, with caution, with the necessary calm, so that we have the best product for the state,” he said. “Brazilian society is demanding tougher sentences.”
As, it is the state least integrated with public security programs created or implemented during the Lula government: of the 11 proposals that depend on voluntary adherence, only 3 were carried out by the state, which says it already has consolidated, structured and integrated actions that meet the objectives of the federal government’s projects.
If the Antifaction PL is voted on next week, the plan foresees Derrite’s return to the São Paulo Executive before his definitive departure. When contacted, the deputy’s press office confirmed that he will return to government after the vote, without commenting on other issues.
The Military Police scheduled an event for December 1st at the 1st Shock Police Battalion, on Avenida Tiradentes, which houses Rota. It is expected that the deputy, who was a troop officer, will attend the ceremony as secretary.
