Lula says that PL Antifaction weakens the fight against crime and calls for changes in the Senate

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said this Wednesday on social media that the Anti-Faction bill approved in the Chamber the day before weakens the fight against organized crime.

“We need firm and secure laws to combat organized crime. The project approved yesterday by the Chamber changed central points of the Anti-Faction Bill that our government presented. As it stands, it weakens the fight against crime and creates legal uncertainty. Exchanging the certain for the dubious only favors those who want to escape the law. It is important that dialogue and responsibility prevail in the Senate in analyzing the project so that Brazil actually has effective instruments in combating criminal factions”, Lula posted.
