Font size

To be approved, a PEC must have at least three-fifths of votes in favor in both votes. In other words, it needs to have the support of 49 senators.

The Public Security PEC is considered a priority for Lula's government, which intends, after approval, to create the Ministry of Public Security.

This is the government's first test after President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's (PT) victory in the elections. The strategy is to approve the text this year and avoid analysis with a majority of PL senators from 2027 onwards.

The Senate voted on the proposed amendment to the Public Security Constitution (PEC) without appreciating the highlights, from the PL and the PT, which deal with the reduction of the age of criminal responsibility. The decision was taken by the House plenary.

The PL's proposal is for the age of criminal responsibility to be reduced to 16 years in cases of less serious crimes, and to 14 years in heinous ones. The PT's proposal reduces the age of majority to 16 only for heinous crimes, maintaining it for others.

Open Questions

  • When will the Ministry of Public Security be created?
  • What will be the PEC’s next steps after approval in the Senate?
  • Will the government obtain the necessary 49 votes in the two votes?

US elections: first polls close in two states; FOLLOW

Exit polls from CNN, CBS News and AP indicate that 62% of US voters disapprove of Donald Trump's performance, with 38% approval, the lowest among presidents in midterm elections since 2006. About 70% want more congressional control over the president, and 6 in 10 attribute the high cost of living to government policies. The FBI denied rumors of the seizure of 20,000 fake ballots in Texas, while ICE announced arrests of immigrants for illegal voting. Technical problems delayed votes in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and New York, and Trump allies promoted voter fraud theories.

In a victory for the government, the Senate approves the Public Security PEC; text goes for promulgation

The Senate approved in the first round, by 73 votes, the basic text of the PEC on Public Security, a priority of the Lula government, which expands the role of the federal government in combating crime. An amendment to the PL for the National Public Security Fund to finance actions by the Armed Forces to Guarantee Law and Order (GLO) was approved by 67 to 0. The vote continues to the second round. Flávio Bolsonaro attended the June 3 session, the first after leaving Brazil without informing the Senate. Davi Alcolumbre removed the PEC from the agenda in the May 15th session due to an impasse over amendments that reduce the age of criminal responsibility.
