The chamber’s PT leader Lindbergh Farias (RJ) said that the government was the victim of “theft by abuse of trust” following the change in the opposition PL foreseen by the document’s reporter, Guilherme Delais (PP), Deputy Federal Councilor and Secretary of Public Security for the City of São Paulo. This comment was made by the PT MP in an interview with Folha de São Paulo, and was repeated by him in a post on X this Sunday afternoon.
In his publications, Mr. Lindbergh refers to crimes in criminal law. The document states that the crime involves stealing by taking advantage of a relationship of trust built with the victim. Very material. “That’s exactly what they did to President Lula. They stepped up the fight against the factions, increased penalties, blocked assets and took away the copyright and spirit of the PL anti-faction, a project prepared by the Ministry of Justice to create a national bank for criminal factions,” he said in a post.
The congressman also highlighted in the publication that Delight is a member of the secretariat of São Paulo Governor Tarcisio de Freitas (Republican) and is described by PT members as a “presidential candidate.” “He ‘stole’ government documents, tainted them politically, transposed them into anti-terrorism legislation, and created a ‘functional equivalence’ between sectarianism and terrorism, something that the original project itself explicitly avoided,” he said.
As GLOBO revealed last week, the rapporteur argued that criminal factions should not be conceptually classified as terrorist organizations, and that their armed actions and territorial control should be treated criminally on a par with terrorism, with sentences ranging from 20 to 40 years. “This change undermines the technical content, turns national public policy into an instrument of electoral dispute, and detracts from the original purpose of the PL,” the PT lawmaker added.
Lindbergh said in his post that the wording changes also threaten national sovereignty by “opening loopholes in the automatic application of international anti-terrorism treaties and potentially creating financial sanctions, asset freezes, and foreign law enforcement cooperation.” The appointment of Secretary Tarcisio to act as rapporteur for the document was also the subject of a complaint submitted by President Lula (PT) to Chamber of Commerce President Hugo Motta (Republican) last week.
In response, Mr. Motta said in a publication on In his post, he emphasized that public safety is a “bipartisan issue and a national imperative” and said he would work with the Chamber of Commerce to approve the project this year. “The plenary session will be sovereign and the debate will be broad, transparent and democratic,” he added.
