“We will evaluate. I believe that Congress has to be receptive, Congress has to know how to listen. And if we have made a mistake, it also has to know how to rectify it. It is a possibility (that it may be revoked),” he said at a press conference.

He said that this Friday, the board of directors and congressmen will hold a meeting with public safety experts and personalities, and said that on that day they will evaluate the recently approved law against organized crime, due to the questions raised against it.

Last July, it is recalled, the Permanent Commission approved the substitute text of the opinion of bill No. 5981, which modifies the definition of criminal organization and requires that searches be carried out in the presence of the person involved and his lawyer.

On that date, the decision taken in the second vote resulted in 12 votes in favor, three against and nine abstentions.
