Right-wing governors launch electoral consortium

These governors do not want the Security PEC launched by Lula and which is being discussed in Congress, because they think they will lose power. The PEC, after all, also proposes a kind of consortium to combat organized crime. Today, each state fights in its own way, and then no one is safe.

The terrorists

The other right-wing agenda, reinforced in chorus by the so-called peace governors (who no longer mention Bolsonaro), is that drug traffickers need to be classified as terrorists. To do this, the law needs to change. The Lula government resists this pressure, but, according to some sources, there is a reason. If drug traffickers become terrorists under Brazilian law, can foreign governments like Donald Trump’s use the excuse of terrorism to carry out operations in Brazilian territory, as they have done in Venezuela?

This issue will be on the agenda for the next few weeks. Huguito Motta, owner of the cold room, signaled that he could carry out the project that equates the actions of militias and criminal factions with terrorism. The idea would be to vote in the first two weeks of November. There is even talk that Derrite, who is Tarcísio’s Secretary of Security, will leave his position temporarily to resume his mandate as deputy and report on the project that is his.

Today, anti-terrorism law provides that an action is terrorist if it involves xenophobia, discrimination or prejudice based on race, color, ethnicity and religion. The project that must be considered in the Chamber includes in the list actions that impose dominance or control of a territorial area. Which is what criminal factions do today.
