The deputy understood that the text, in the Senate, was much more fragile and similar to that of the then Minister of Justice, Ricardo Lewandowski
Allies of federal deputy Guilherme Derrite (PP) expect changes in the Antifaction PL, which will return to the Chamber of Deputies after undergoing modifications in the Senate. The expectation is that there is no “flexibility or regression” of what had already been done previously in the Chamber, but that some new points are maintained, such as public security financing.
People close to Derrite stated that the deputy “welcomed” the creation of a tax to be applied to bets and therefore should not make any changes in this regard. According to the text approved by the Senate, under the report of Senator Alessandro Vieira (MDB-SE), the money should be allocated to the National Public Security Fund (FNSP), which would now have greater participation from the States. At the time, Viera spoke of up to R$30 billion in revenue.
Already other modifications made by Vieira, such as the removal of prohibitions on prisoners involved with factions or militias from receiving prison benefits or voting must be replaced. Derrite also wants to harden the size of the feathers again, according to interlocutors. The text of the Chamber of Deputies provided for minimum sentences of 20 to 40 years for those involved with factions or militias, with an increase of half to 2/3 of the sentence in the case of leaders of criminal factions – in the Senate, the minimum sentences were between 15 and 30 years, being double in the case of leaders.
The reading is that Derrite understood that the text, in the Senate, became much more fragile and similar to that of the then Minister of Justice, Ricardo Lewandowski. In the opinion of the federal deputy’s assistants, it has already been proven that “this is not what the population wants”.
Planalto x Melter
As anticipated by Young Panthe federal government is looking, behind the scenes, to implement the Anti-Faction bill. THE proposal is considered a priority by the government to toughen up the fight against organized crime and, in Lula’s view, it is important to leave government fingerprints on the public security agenda.
When contacted, Derrite declined to comment on the matter. People close to him reported, however, that he and Motta should talk next week. The understanding is that there is a promise from the President of the Chamber to keep the deputy in the rapporteur – which would be seen as a defeat for the federal government.
