In a speech in Buenos Aires last week, Chamber of Commerce President Hugo Motta (R-PB) confessed that it would be difficult to find consensus in the face of polarization in Congress and interference from other parties.
The recent discussion of equating criminal factions with terrorism was a rare exception in the current political scenario.
The government presented a consistent argument justifying its opposition to the measure, explaining that the classification, in addition to restricting foreign investment in cities where these armed groups are located, opens Brazil to intervention by other countries.

The press played its role by highlighting different points of view, and Congress was able to debate and reach consensus.
Extremist groups (left and right) are always present and fuel ideological debates during elections, but despite the blockading groups, the debate flowed.
This time, it was Hugo Motta who threw the ball, stating that he would not take political advantage of public safety issues. The Anti-Terrorism Project Rapporteur, Member of Parliament Guilherme Delight (PP-SP), withdrew and an agreement was reached. What should politics be like? Everyone wins.
