President of the National Federation of State Forces (Feneme), retired military police colonel from Santa Catarina, Marlon Teza, rejects the risk of governors losing power over corporations in their states.
“I see no chance that this will happen. We are government agencies, not “A” or “B” category government agencies, ”the official said. CNN, after a meeting of the board of the organization, at which the political situation and its impact on the police in the country were discussed. “I see no chance of disobedience or rupture in prime ministers other than an isolated attitude.”
On Monday (23), at a meeting of the Forum of Governors, demonstrations took place that military police officers who support President Jair Bolsonaro may question the credibility of state leaders, especially those who are considered political opponents of the head of the federal executive branch. – in Sao Paulo, for example, the toucan João Doria ordered the dismissal of the colonel due to publications of a political-partisan nature.
According to Colonel Marlon, Feneme’s commitment to 51 associate organizations, comprising 75,000 officers across Brazil, is based on respect and obedience to the law and the Constitution, as well as neutrality with respect to disputes between political parties.
“Our main mission is to act in accordance with the law, to protect the rights and legislation related to the military police. Party politics is for politicians, ”the official said. “When you have a color for a party, whatever it is, a problem arises. We don’t have a label here, we are government agencies. “
For Colonel Marlon, radical speeches find more “repulsion” than support in active contingents of the military police, and sometimes reveal the political claims of their vocalists.
Regarding the actions scheduled for September 7 in the capitals of the country, President Feneme says that the prime ministers in the states will fulfill their mission of protecting state property and citizens, as well as maintaining public order. “The military police is an institution that now always obeys the orders of the state authorities. We have always been loyal and loyal to the rulers, ”says Colonel Marlon.
