Overview

  • President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva gathered the vice president and nine ministers at the Palácio do Planalto at 9:30 a.m. to discuss responses to crime and coordinate messaging.
  • Six participants previously governed states and handled security operations: Geraldo Alckmin, Rui Costa, Renan Filho, Camilo Santana, Waldez Góes, and Wellington Dias.
  • Justice Minister Ricardo Lewandowski, Finance Minister Fernando Haddad, and Institutional Relations chief Gleisi Hoffmann joined to align federal, financial, and political actions.
  • The Chamber delayed a vote on the PL Antifacção after pressure from the Planalto and governors, as rapporteur Guilherme Derrite circulated multiple drafts now expected to return on Tuesday, Nov. 18.
  • A new Genial/Quaest survey shows approval at 47% and disapproval at 50% as public security rises to the top national concern, following a Rio operation that left 121 dead.
