Senate votes on Public Security PEC this Tuesday
The Senate analyzes on Tuesday (3) the Public Security PEC, considered a priority by Lula's government. The vote was previously postponed due to a deadlock on reducing the age of criminal responsibility. g1 broadcasts live starting at 4pm.
The Federal Senate is expected to vote on Tuesday (3) on the Proposal to Amend the Constitution (PEC) of Public Security, considered a priority by the Lula government. The session is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m., with live broadcast by g1. The text envisages the creation of the so-called "SUS of Security" and the end of the "exit" of prisoners, but faces a deadlock on amendments that propose reducing the penal majority.
The vote, initially scheduled for before the second round of elections, was postponed due to a stalemate over amendments tabled in the Senate that propose reducing the penal majority. The issue came into debate within the Senate only, and the government advocates that it be discussed separately from the PEC, which needs the support of at least 49 senators, in two turns, to be approved.
Disappearance on penal majority postponement of voting
The opposition is calling for a reduction of the age of majority to 14, depending on the severity of the crime, while a government proposal provides for 16 years for heinous crimes. The rapporteur of the PEC, Senator Rogério Carvalho (PT-SE), asks that the amendments that call for the reduction of the penal majority be removed from the text to compose a separate draft. The request is in accordance with the Senate’s Rules of Procedure, but needs to be approved by the plenary.
The government advocates that the matter – a priority for Lula – be discussed separately from the PEC, so as not to compromise its approval. To be approved, the proposal needs the support of at least 49 senators, in two turns. The source did not detail how the plenary should take a position on the rapporteur's request.
The rapporteur presented his opinion to the plenary
The rapporteur of the PEC, Senator Rogério Carvalho (PT-SE), speaks at this moment in the gallery. He presents his opinion and calls for the withdrawal of the amendments on penal majority. The president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (Union-AP), leads the session and calls for the discussion of the PEC of Public Security.
However, at a previous point, Alcolumbre said that the discussion on the Public Security CEP could not take place at this time because the rapporteur is not present and the report is not yet in the system. So the agenda has been reversed. Before starting the debate on the PEC of Public Security, senators debate updating the values of the individual microentrepreneur. Project debated at this time extends MEI limit and forgives debts of defaulters.
Inverted tariff and promulgation of another PEC
The president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP), withdrew from the agenda of the session on Thursday (15) the vote of the Security PEC. The vote was scheduled for this session, but leaders of the Lula government are still drawing up the strategy to deal with the issue after the opposition wants to reduce its majority to 14 years. The senator also said that tomorrow the promulgation of the 6x1 scale PEC will be made.
The president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre, announced that the vote of the PEC of Public Security is no longer part of the agenda of this session. The source did not elaborate on whether the vote would be rescheduled for another day or whether the impasse over the penalties would be resolved sooner.
What the Public Safety PEC provides
The text foresees the "SUS of Security" and the end of the "leak" of prisoners. See details of the proposal. The PEC of Public Security is considered a priority by the Lula government and needs the support of at least 49 senators, in two turns, to be approved. The source did not detail other points of the text, such as the creation of a national security fund or changes in police.
The impasse over the reduction of the penal majority has been the main obstacle to the vote. The opposition wants to include the reduction to up to 14 years in the text of the PEC, while the government advocates that the issue be discussed in a separate draft. The rapporteur, Senator Rogério Carvalho, has already requested the withdrawal of the amendments, but the final decision lies with the plenary.
Live broadcast and next steps
The g1 will broadcast live, from 4 pm. The Senate session can also be accompanied by the House website. The vote on the Public Security CEP may take place today, but it depends on the resolution of the impasse over the penal majority and the presence of the rapporteur and the report in the system.
The president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre, has already withdrawn the PEC from the agenda in a previous session, but now the discussion has resumed. The source did not detail whether there was an agreement between the government and the opposition to unlock the vote.
