In a meeting with allied supporters at the Palácio do Planalto, Institutional Relations Minister Gleisi Hoffmann outlined the main concerns the government has regarding the Security PEC (Proposed Constitutional Amendment). The most contentious issue is the proposed reduction of the age for criminal responsibility, which the rapporteur, Deputy Mendonça Filho, plans to keep in the text despite pushback from left-wing parties. This change would not take effect until 2028, pending a referendum, but the government is vigorously trying to remove this provision.

Hoffmann also criticized amendments related to the National Public Security Fund (FNSP) that prioritize sending financial resources to the states, which reduces the federal government's ability to allocate funds. The administration believes these changes undermine the capabilities of federal law enforcement, particularly the Federal Police. This situation highlights a growing tension between federal and state authorities over resource distribution and governance in public security.

Finally, Hoffmann pointed out concerns regarding provisions that frame public safety as "integrated and decentralized." The government prefers a more centralized approach to maintain control over security measures, reflecting a broader debate about the role of federal versus local oversight in managing public safety effectively. Overall, the government's response demonstrates its commitment to revising the PEC and maintaining what they perceive as essential for national security.
