for a possible Ministry of Public Security, federal deputy Adriana Accorsi (GO) states that the recreation of the department by the president has no electoral background and that the initiative will undo the “mistake” of uniting the area with that of Justice.
The topic gained strength at the end of last year, when Lula stated that . With , the division would face less resistance — he was opposed to the split.
Accorsi says he has always defended the re-creation of the folder. “The junction with Justice in the last government [Jair Bolsonaro] it was a mistake, because public security is a topic of great concern to the population”, he states. “By undoing this mistake, President Lula will become even more popular with the Brazilian people, because he is really not only demonstrating concern, but he is acting to protect people.”
For the parliamentarian, the PT member’s decision has no electoral purposes. “President Lula is not concerned with the political-electoral issue. He is really concerned with protecting the Brazilian people and that is what we expect from governors too”, he says.
She also assesses that the fact that it is an election year will not hinder the recreation. The condition given by the president to reestablish the portfolio, the approval of the Security PEC, should not be an obstacle, according to the deputy.
“The security PEC is urgent due to the seriousness of the advance of organized crime in Brazil”, he says. “The legislation that exists today was established by the 1988 Constitution and is outdated, because it left the fight against practically every type of crime to the states, and today it is no longer possible for states to combat organized crime and factions in isolation, because they are interstate and international.”
The deputy defends Congress’s prerogative to propose changes to the original PEC, but says it is important to stick to the text in its most relevant principles, such as strengthening the Federal Police, integration and information sharing.
