Rio gubernatorial candidate Ruas proposes permanent anti-crime cabinet, police reform

PL candidate Douglas Ruas pledges a permanent Union-integrated cabinet to combat organized crime in Rio if elected, while vowing unilateral action against drug and arms trafficking. He also plans to revoke the 'lethality indicator' restricting police self-defense and to hold a competition to fill security force vacancies. This is a campaign proposal, not yet policy; its impact depends on election outcome and federal cooperation.
