The PDT candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, Ciro Gomes, promised today (12) that, if elected, he will propose a new logic of action for the public security forces, intensifying federal efforts to combat criminal organizations.
“Anyone who is sensitive to the people’s agenda has to do something in public security,” said Ciro when participating, in São Paulo, in an event organized by the Center for Company-School Integration (CIEE).
Former governor of Ceará, the Labor candidate said that criminal factions took control of part of the main Brazilian cities. “Today, the great crime is the criminal factions, which have established terror on the outskirts of all cities”, said Ciro Gomes.
When criticizing the amount of budget resources that the Union allocates to public security, Ciro said that state forces are incapable of, in isolation, facing the power of criminal organizations.
“Why don’t the local police solve the problem? Because the police officer is a worker; he has a worker’s income and, therefore, his family lives on the periphery. So, in order to survive, he has to establish a certain pact of coexistence with the [quadro de] terror that the faction established [no local]”, said Ciro, recognizing that, in this context, “a fraction” of public agents ends up being corrupted.
“But [o problema] it’s not this one, but that [parte dos policiais] need to make this pact [de convivência]”, said.
“Only those who have the capacity to face this are an institution from outside, that is, the central power [o governo federal]. Therefore, I will federalize the confrontation [em todas as instâncias: Polícia Federal; Ministério Público Federal; Justiça Federal e penitenciárias federais. Passa a ser federal o enfrentamento do crime organizado, da facção criminosa, do narcotraficante, do contrabando de armas”, explicou Ciro Gomes.
“Para fazer isso, tenho que mudar o Orçamento e a lógica das polícias. O financiamento, [consigo] with the repeal of the spending ceiling. AND [a mudança da lógica] introducing technology and intelligence massively [no sistema operacional]. Nowadays, security is not made by entering favelas shooting in all directions. It is necessary to monitor the movement of money,” added Ciro.
“So [federalizando o combate ao crime organizado], I go on the substantive cause of violence. And the diffuse violence, the one that frightens the Brazilian middle class and everyone else, the assault, this will have no way out if we don’t kill the great source of crime, which are these criminal organizations”, said the candidate.
