Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies Delays Security PEC and Anti-Faction Bill to 2026

Overview

• Party leaders confirmed the postponement after a meeting with Chamber president Hugo Motta.
• The government-framed delay is seen as a setback after it sought approval of the security package this year.
• The PEC da Segurança passed the Chamber’s Constitution and Justice Committee and still requires a special committee vote before reaching the floor.
• The Anti-Faction bill, approved earlier by deputies, was unanimously amended in the Senate under rapporteur Alessandro Vieira and must return to the Chamber for final analysis.
• Opposition parties and governors resisted expanding federal authority over policing, while lawmakers moved ahead this week with tax reform regulation, fiscal changes and the 2026 budget before the December 18 recess.
