Overview
- At a November 13 Planalto meeting, Lula asked former governors in his cabinet to work their congressional networks to secure approval of the Security PEC and the Antifacção bill.
- Chamber President Hugo Motta set the Antifacção bill as a single-item discussion and vote for November 18, leaving a narrow window for negotiations.
- The government objects to the latest draft by rapporteur Guilherme Derrite, citing asset seizures only after final judgment, the absence of a clear penal type for criminal factions, proposals to split seized assets with states, and the removal of extraordinary forfeiture.
- Officials say the Antifacção bill was developed over six months with experts, universities, and state security authorities, and they assert readiness to defend the text on the floor.
- The Planalto seeks joint consideration of the PEC and the bill, emphasizing the PEC’s goal of integrating federal, state, and municipal security forces and expanding Federal Police operations in states.
