The episode opens with the announcement that a law has entered into force, amending the Maria da Penha Law to mandate the immediate use of electronic ankle monitors for aggressors when the woman remains at risk. The victim receives a security device that alerts them if the aggressor approaches. The text, originating from the Chamber of Deputies, prioritizes budget allocation for purchasing and maintaining these monitors and devices. It also makes permanent the program for electronic monitoring and support for women in situations of violence. Senator Leila Barros (PDT-DF) cites 2024 data from the National Council of Justice indicating almost 967,000 new cases of domestic violence against women, encompassing physical, psychological, sexual, patrimonial violence and non-compliance with protective measures. She describes the scenario as staggering and calls for energetic combat. The episode then shifts to legislative news, reporting the creation of the Mixed Parliamentary Front for the Defense of Street Market Vendors in the National Congress. Its objective is to discuss and formulate strategic public policies aimed at strengthening the sector. The author of the project, Senator Damaris Alves (Republicanos-DF), presents data highlighting the importance of street markets for the country: over 9,000 fairs in Brazil, present in 70% of municipalities, and more than 2,300 municipal markets. She notes their reality today is very different from 30 years ago, citing problems like security that need to be addressed with parliamentary support. Senator Leila Barros also praises the strategic role of street markets in food security, income generation, and urban space organization. The front, comprising senators and deputies, will hold an installation meeting and elect a president and vice-president. Next, the episode covers the Committee on Education and Culture discussing the creation of the National Day of the Martyrs of the Confederation of the Equador. For guests at the public hearing, the 1824 revolutionary movement in the Northeast, especially in Pernambuco and Ceará, was an attempt to establish a republican, federative, and constitutional nation shortly after Brazil's independence. Beyond known leaders like Frei Caneca, the participation of military personnel, intellectuals, and popular layers, including enslaved people, the poor, free individuals, and women, was highlighted. Historian Jorge Félix Cabral notes the country's construction process was marked by contradictions, such as the concentration of the Emperor's power and the fragility of republican practices throughout history. He connects the discussion to current debates on democracy, the Republic, the Constitution, tax justice, inequality, and society. The proposed national day would be celebrated annually on August 20th. The episode concludes with other news: the Joint Committee for the Control of the Intelligence Activities approved a request to invite former military policeman Rodrigo Pimentel, who commanded BOPE in Rio de Janeiro, to a hearing on public security and criminal organizations. Other news is available on the Senate's website.
