The episode opens with the announcement that a law has entered into force requiring the immediate use of electronic ankle monitors for aggressors in domestic violence cases where the woman remains at risk. This amendment to the Maria da Penha Law treats the ankle monitor as an urgent protective measure. Reporter Pedro Pinser provides details, noting the law originated in the Chamber of Deputies. Senator Leila Barros (PDT-DF) cites 2024 data from the National Council of Justice indicating nearly 967,000 new cases of domestic violence against women, encompassing physical, psychological, sexual, patrimonial violence and violations of protective orders. She describes the situation as staggering. The law prioritizes budget allocation for purchasing and maintaining ankle monitors and alert devices, and it permanently establishes the electronic monitoring and support program for women in situations of violence. The second segment reports the creation of the Mixed Parliamentary Front for the Defense of Street Market Vendors in the National Congress. Reporter Douglas Castilho covers this. The front aims to discuss and develop strategic public policies to strengthen street markets. Project author Senator Damares Alves (Republicanos-DF) presents data showing the sector's importance: over 9,000 street markets 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 security as a key problem needing 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 leadership. The third segment, reported by Patrícia Oliveira, covers a public hearing by the Education and Culture Committee discussing the creation of the National Day of the Martyrs of the Confederation of the Ecuador. Guests described the 1824 revolutionary movement in the Northeast, especially Pernambuco and Ceará, as an attempt to establish a republican, federative, and constitutional nation shortly after Brazil's independence. Beyond known leaders like Frei Caneca, participation included military, intellectuals, and popular classes like enslaved people, the poor, free individuals, and women. Historian Jorge Félix Cabral noted the country's construction was marked by contradictions, such as imperial power concentration and fragile republican practices. He connected the historical discussion to current debates on democracy, republic, constitution, tax justice, inequality, and impunity. The day would be celebrated annually on August 20. The episode concludes with a brief note that the Joint Committee for Intelligence Activities Control approved inviting former BOPE commander Rodrigo Pimentel for a hearing on public security and criminal organizations, and directs listeners to senado.leg.br.radio for more news.
