247 - Journalist Breno Altman spoke out against...Discussion regarding civilian or military command over the Institutional Security Office (GSI) of the Presidency of the Republic.

For him, the right thing to do is to abolish the agency: “it would be a serious mistake to miss the opportunity to end the GSI, putting all intelligence services in civilian hands,” he wrote on Twitter this Tuesday (25).

However, according to the journalist, to speak again about to appoint a general to head the GSI It goes even further: "Appointing a general again to head the ministry would be beyond imagination, endorsing military control over the State."
