The arrival of National Force agents in Rio Grande do Norte after criminal attacks in several cities, and the signs of rebellion in the allied base of the Lula government in Congress are among the highlights of this Wednesday (15).
National Force arrives in RN to reinforce security after attacks; more than 20 are arrested
National Force agents arrived in Rio Grande do Norte early this Wednesday (15) to provide support in the fight against criminals.
Governor Fátima Bezerra (PT), who was on the agenda in Brasília, disembarked with the troops on the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) plane.
The Minister of Justice, Flávio Dino (PSB), published on Twitter that he spoke with the governor by telephone during the early hours of the morning. “The first part of the National Force team is already in Natal. Another part will arrive this morning. And another one tomorrow and the day after. We assigned 220 police officers to assist state forces. And we can expand as much as necessary”, added Dino.
The first aircraft landed with 30 military police on board. A second plane, with another 70 agents, arrived shortly afterwards.
Government sees signs of rebellion in Congress and does not know the actual size of the base
More than two months after taking office and just over a month after Congress began the new legislature, the government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) sees a disorganized allied base with several outbreaks of rebellion.
This is what sources from the Planalto Palace heard by the CNN .
The most recent case that shows the degree of confrontation in the Executive is the accusation by allies of President Lula that the Chamber of Deputies barred the government from accessing the list of parliamentarians who signed the request for the installation of the Joint Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI). of the criminal acts of January 8.
As a result, government political operators have resorted directly to party leaders to gain access to the names of parliamentarians from the benches who are signing the list.
After meeting with Appy, Efraim Filho defends payroll exemption for another 4 years
On the afternoon of this Tuesday (14th), representatives of the Commerce and Service Parliamentary Front met with the Secretary of Tax Reform at the Ministry of Finance, Bernard Appy, to discuss the proposal.
After the meeting, the leader of the Front, senator Efraim Filho (União-PB) stated that the main topic of debate was payroll exemption, and defended the exemption for another four years for the topic to be discussed.
“We defend [desoneração da folha de pagamento] for four years, to make room for discussion. But it is clear that, if the tax reform comes with broad relief, reaching all sectors, it is the best of both worlds”, commented the senator.
The leader of the Front said that the sector “cannot wait” for a definition on the subject beyond 2023, considering that the current exemption ends on December 31 of this year.
PF plans to ask ex-minister Bento Albuquerque to breach telephone secrecy
The Federal Police plans to ask for the breach of telephone secrecy of the former Minister of Mines and Energy Bento Albuquerque, his former advisor Marcos André Soeiro and the former head of the Internal Revenue Service Julio Cesar Vieira Gomes.
The request must be made due to a call between Gomes and former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL), which would have taken place in December last year, in a last attempt to recover the package of jewelry seized by the Federal Revenue Service at Guarulhos airport, in Sao Paulo.
The PF wants to know the content of the conversation, what was said, requested or agreed. And whether this call could implicate Bolsonaro. It would be the former president’s first personal contact in the case directly.
