Cadu de Lula says that the Security PEC will facilitate integration between federal, state and municipal forces

The elected governor of Rio Grande do Norte, Cadu de Lula (PT), stated this Wednesday (4) that the Public Security PEC will facilitate integration between federal, state and municipal forces in the fight against organized crime. The proposal was approved by the Senate in two rounds on Tuesday (3) and is headed for promulgation by the National Congress.

“Yesterday, the approval of the Public Security PEC was excellent news, which will have an impact in Rio Grande do Norte”, he stated, in an interview with the GloboNews newspaper Em Ponto.

Asked about Lula's lack of statements regarding how to face debt, interest and public and private indebtedness in the next term, Cadu said that the president may be using this time to consolidate ideas.

“And his silence, perhaps it is the necessary time, analyzing how President Lula's mind works, so that when he speaks out, he already speaks out on ideas that will be consolidated in his head for the direction he will take for the country in the coming years.”

When defending the Security PEC, Cadu stated that the advance of criminal organizations also affects the Northeast and defended the fight against crime “firmly, with police on the streets, with the occupation of territories”.

PT renewal

Cadu was also asked about the differences between the new generation of PT leaders and the party's older cadres in driving the economic agenda. He rejected the idea of ​​conflict and stated that traditional leaders contributed to the arrival of new names.

“So, we don’t have this generational fight, let’s put it that way,” he explained. “It is natural that now, in President Lula’s fourth term, some of these leaders occupy spaces in President Lula’s government.”

When talking about the relationship with governor Fátima Bezerra (PT), Cadu highlighted his loyalty to his predecessor, but stated that he will have a management with its own characteristics.

“I said throughout the campaign that I have a lot of loyalty to Fátima, but I have my own DNA.”

Former Secretary of Finance, he said he had a trajectory more focused on development and the generation of jobs and income, while highlighting Fátima's role in the trade union movement. "So, my government will be a different government than hers. I think that's it, the ideas complement each other."
