Flávio Dino: people have already been identified for vandalism in Brasilia

Senator-elect Flávio Dino (PSB-MA), former governor of Maranhão and future Minister of Justice in Lula’s government, said this Friday (16) that part of the demonstrators who participated in acts of vandalism in Brasilia were identified. The statement was given in São Luís during a press conference to announce new members of his team at the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP).

“Investigations into what happened in the country’s capital are ongoing. There are already identification of dozens of people who acted in those acts of terrorism, violence, intimidation, property damage and risk to people’s physical integrity”, said Dino. He assured that, even if any investigations do not progress this year, the investigation will continue with the new government.

The violent acts took place on Monday night (12), in the central region of the federal capital. Protesters who support President Jair Bolsonaro tried to invade the headquarters of the Federal Police (PF) after the arrest of the indigenous José Acácio Tserere Xavante, decreed by the Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Alexandre de Moraes, and started a protest that resulted in the closure of the Northern Hotel Sector and part of the Monumental Axis. At least eight vehicles, including five buses, as well as private cars, were set on fire during the melee. Protesters also damaged the windows of other cars, broke public furniture and the windows of a Police Station. To date, no arrests have been made.

Team

During the press conference, Flávio Dino announced new members of his team for key positions in the portfolio. To coordinate the National Program for Public Security with Citizenship (Pronasci), which was in force during Lula’s previous term and will be recreated, the lawyer Tamires Sampaio, linked to the PT, was called. Former federal deputy and former president of the Rio de Janeiro Bar Association (OAB-RJ), Wadih Damous (PT), will be the national consumer secretary and will coordinate the National Consumer System.

Professor and human rights lawyer Sheila de Carvalho, who was part of the transition team, will be a special advisor to the minister’s office with an emphasis on combating racism, and will also chair the National Committee for Refugees (Conare). Another name announced is that of lawyer Estela Aranha, who will coordinate an area of ​​digital rights that will be created at the ministry.

In addition to the new names, Flávio Dino had already appointed, last week, delegate Andrei Rodrigues, head of President-elect Lula’s security team, to the general directorate of the Federal Police. Journalist Ricardo Cappeli was announced this week as executive secretary of the MJSP, the second most important position in the ministry’s hierarchy. Cappelli was Secretary of Communication for the government of Maranhão under Flávio Dino and continued to serve as secretary in the state. The deputy executive secretary will be Diego Galdino, announced this Friday. Galdino was Chief of Staff, State Secretary for Culture and Tourism and State Secretary for the Environment, the three positions in the government of Maranhão.
