Senator Eduardo Girão, presiding. I always say here, Senator Girão, that it is important to speak about only one subject, but it is difficult to keep up with events.
- Neutral
About: preserve the legitimacy of citizens' impeachment proposals
So, the first and most important thing at the moment was this retraction by Minister Gilmar Mendes, who went back on the restriction regarding the legitimacy to propose impeachment.
- Neutral
About: preserve the legitimacy of citizens' impeachment proposals
Note that the two most relevant impeachments in Brazil's history, that of President Fernando Collor, over the PC Farias scheme, and the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, for the fiscal juggling carried out, resulted from petitions submitted by Brazilian citizens who held no office, no public authority.
- For
About: preserve citizen participation channels for filing impeachment requests
It is important, in a democracy, to keep channels open for citizens.
- For
About: fully restore the 1950 Impeachment Law
I hope that, in the assessment of this injunction by the Plenary of the Senate, the 1950 Impeachment Law can be fully restored, also with respect to other aspects, such as the quorum necessary for the admissibility of an impeachment request against a Supreme Court Justice, which in the law is a simple majority, and yet the injunction creatively transformed it into a qualified two-thirds quorum, which has no normative support in our Constitution.
- For
About: change the impeachment law through the legislative process
If there is dissatisfaction with the quorum provided in the law, change the law, but you cannot do that by judicial shortcuts, much less by single-judge decisions.
- Neutral
About: discuss the impeachment bill in the Senate
So, let us await the developments, remembering that we also have here the impeachment bill, which should remain for next year, as was discussed today in the CCJ, but in which we Senators will be able to discuss this matter in greater depth.
- For
About: preserve impeachment as an accountability mechanism
And I say this because there is no eagerness to seek to impeach or punish anyone, but we need to preserve an instrument of citizenship and of accountability, of citizens' oversight over public authorities.
- For
About: ensure accountability of all authorities, including ministers of the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal)
No one can be above the law, neither the President of the Republic, nor the Senator, nor the Deputy, but nor the Minister of the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal).
- Neutral
About: take the anti-faction bill to debate in the Senate Plenary
Another matter of the day that I hope we can still debate in the Plenary is the anti-faction PL.
- Neutral
About: increase resources to combat organized crime
Brazil is experiencing an escalation of organized crime.
- Neutral
About: ensure public safety
Violence frightens every Brazilian. Brazilians, when they can, protect themselves, whether the most humble or the most opulent.
- Neutral
About: reduce street crime
In fact, the wealthier classes go after armored cars; residents of houses or streets try to turn their homes into a kind of fortress, raising high walls, installing electric fences, taking all kinds of precautions.
- Neutral
About: reduce street crime
The ordinary citizen is afraid to go out at night in the most dangerous neighborhoods.
- Neutral
About: reduce street crime
Sometimes they are even afraid to go out to the very corner of their own house at night, for fear that something might happen.
- Neutral
About: reduce street crime
Who does not know an owner of a small establishment who has already been robbed, however modest it may be, around 20 times, sometimes even within a single year?
- Neutral
About: reduce street crime
In particular, I recall, Senator Girão, that there was a bakery on the corner of my house, a small establishment which the owner ran.
There were four or five employees there.
- Neutral
About: reduce street crime
And he once told me that, in one month, he was robbed three times.
- Neutral
About: reduce street crime
Not only the loss, but the risk to him and to the other employees led him to hire a private security guard.
- Neutral
About: reduce street crime
Imagine a small corner bakery having to hire a private security guard; imagine the costs of that for the development of the business.
- Neutral
About: approve the Public Security PEC
This House has approved, in this second half of 2025, important projects in the area of security.
- For
About: strengthen legislation against organized crime
I am proud to have participated more incisively in one of them, of which I was the author, which became Law 15,245; in another which I reported on and in which I made, in my view, significant amendments to the text, which is 15,272; and in another project that was approved in the National Congress and sent for presidential sanction, still without a number, which I hope will be sanctioned by the end of this month.
- For
About: adopt special legislation and high-security prisons to isolate crime leaders
And now, this morning, we voted on the anti-faction PL, a Herculean effort by Senator Alessandro, who did a brilliant job.
- Neutral
About: submit suggestions and amendments to the anti-faction bill during consideration
I put forward several suggestions, as did the other colleagues.
- Neutral
About: approve amendments and decisions in the legislative process
Several of them were accepted; others, as is natural in the legislative process, were not.
- Neutral
About: follow the improvement approach of the original bill
And he followed the line that was inaugurated by Deputy – former Secretary of Public Security of São Paulo – Derrite.
- Neutral
About: negotiate with the National Congress and use amendments to pass fiscal reforms
Derrite took the Government's project, which had positive points but also had several negative points.
- For
About: adopt special legislation and high-security prisons to isolate crime leaders
Realistically speaking, it was a very modest project, and he redirected it so that we would have a truly severe and robust law against organized crime, not only increasing penalties but also bringing new instruments for investigation and criminal repression.
- For
About: adopt special legislation and high-security prisons to isolate crime leaders
In the Senate, I dare say — and this does not detract from the previous work — the same direction was followed.
- Neutral
About: allow modifications to bills during legislative consideration
It is natural, in the legislative process, that there are modifications.
- Neutral
About: value collective work in the legislative process
It is like a book written by various hands, by different authors, each of them writing a chapter, and the final product is normally better than the initial product.
- Neutral
About: request urgency and take the bill to the plenary
It was approved today in the CCJ, with my vote; it should be taken today to the Plenary or, at the latest, next week; and, when it returns to the Chamber of Deputies, the Chamber will have the prerogative to accept or not the changes made in the Senate.
- For
About: that the Chamber of Deputies accept the changes made by the Senate to the anti-faction bill
I hope that it accepts them for the most part — at least there are many important provisions there.
- For
About: strengthen legislation against organized crime
So, it will be a great step against organized crime.
- For
About: effectively implement public security laws
Let us not be under the illusion that change solves the problems.
- For
About: effectively implement public security laws
Fighting crime is legislative change, but also practical; change toward harsher laws, but we also need to implement those laws.
- For
About: integrate and strengthen intelligence and investigative capabilities
The great challenge, in fact, in Brazil, often, is what is called law enforcement — the effectiveness of the law — which must be pursued with strategy, with intelligence, with investments.
- For
About: apply sentencing guidelines when determining penalties
Lastly, the dosimetry PL: congratulations to the Chamber of Deputies for having approved it!
- For
About: grant amnesty to protesters
I am in favor of amnesty, because there are many errors in this process.
