Overview

• Hugo Motta placed eight urgency requests on the plenary agenda for a vote focused exclusively on public security.
• If the urgency motions pass, the bills can be decided directly on the floor without review by thematic committees.
• Motta says the package reflects consensus from all 27 state public security secretaries.
• The proposals include channeling confiscated drug assets and part of sports-betting revenue to security, creating the crime of obstruction of justice, defining the “domínio de cidades” offense as heinous, increasing penalties for attacks on state agents, tightening action against criminal organizations, expediting flagrante procedures, and improving interagency collaboration.
• The push is widely read as a bid to limit political damage after mass protests and the Senate’s rejection of the PEC da Blindagem.
