Brazil seeks to separate military and politics with a new amendment.
Brazil’s Defense and Justice Ministers have finished a proposal (PEC) that stops active military members from having political jobs.
The proposal suggests moving active military members to reserve status when they register as candidates.
The ministers believe this will help keep the Armed Forces politically neutral, which is important to separate military actions from political decisions.
The proposal also requires active military members to move to reserve status if they take on ministerial jobs.
Minister Múcio will discuss the proposal with other senators and if they agree, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will review it.
However, it might not be approved as the senators want to discuss parts of the proposal.
Poder360 said that the Senate Government Leader Jaques Wagner is the preferred person to present the proposal.
Congress members who will meet with Múcio want to help create the proposal.
The aim is to find a solution that Congress likes that doesn’t cause problems with the military.
Finally, Deputies Alencar Santana and Carlos Zarattini suggested stopping certain military operations to make the forces less political.
This idea, which stops the military from getting involved in civilian issues, is not in the current proposal.
In simple terms, Brazil’s government is trying to ensure that the people who work in the military do not get involved in politics while still active in the military.
This is important to ensure that the military does not have too much influence over the government and to keep everything fair and balanced.
However, it is not certain that this change will happen because it needs to be approved by different parts of the government, and some people might not agree with it.
