Tarcísio deu novo fôlego à luta pela anistia e à pauta da direita na segurança. Falta apoio formal de Jair Bolsonaro para ser candidato ao Palácio do Planalto.

Overview

  • The president of the Chamber, Hugo Motta, said the government-authored bill will be the sole item for a plenary vote on Tuesday, November 18, after two failed attempts and four successive reports.
  • The latest draft by rapporteur Guilherme Derrite defines a new offense of an “ultraviolent criminal organization” to characterize criminal factions, with penalties of 20 to 40 years, and drops efforts to label factions as terrorists.
  • A technical clash persists over seized assets: Derrite directs proceeds to FUNAPOL when the PF leads the case, while Justice Ministry advisers argue the money should go to the existing Funad, citing risks to PF financing.
  • Government figures, including Minister Renan Filho and Senator Renan Calheiros, say Derrite’s versions weaken PF autonomy, and a reported dinner with Arthur Lira and Eduardo Cunha increased political backlash.
  • The Planalto’s trust in Motta has been strained by Derrite’s appointment, while in the Senate, Alessandro Vieira signals the bill could pass with adjustments, though leaders still question which final text will reach the floor.
