Chamber Sets Tuesday Vote on Anti-Faction Bill After Four Redrafts

Overview

• Speaker Hugo Motta says the only item on Tuesday’s agenda will be the government’s anti-faction bill, which has faced two postponements and four versions under opposition relator Guilherme Derrite.
• The latest draft channels assets seized in PF-led cases to FUNAPOL, while government technicians argue the money should flow through the national anti-drug fund and warn of broader autonomy risks.
• Derrite’s text introduces the category of an ultraviolent criminal organization with prison terms of 20 to 40 years, as allies of the government reject the legal design and resist efforts to label factions as terrorists.
• Political fallout continues as Planalto allies say trust in Motta has been damaged and a reported dinner with Arthur Lira and Eduardo Cunha draws criticism from Senator Renan Calheiros.
• In the Senate, relator Alessandro Vieira signals a favorable path for a corrected bill, describing remaining changes as technical and expressing confidence in approval after adjustments.
