Reserve colonel Jorge Henrique Luz Fontes resigned as chief of staff of the executive secretary of the Institutional Security Office (GSI) of the Presidency of the Republic. The exoneration, at Fontes’ request, was published in the Official Gazette of the Union this Wednesday (26) and signed by the acting minister of the GSI, Ricardo Cappelli. According to the Transparency Portal, the military had held the position since February 2022. Jorge Fontes joined the body in September 2017. The colonel’s departure occurs after Cappelli announced that he intends to expedite the exchange of servers that have been in the GSI since the government past, at the request of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. According to the interim minister, 35% of the employees have already been replaced. Cappelli said that he is carrying out a survey of information on the portfolio’s performance in order to present an “x-ray” to Lula, who must decide which changes will be made to the GSI after returning from his official trip to Europe. Understand the case Last week, General Gonçalves Dias, who had headed the GSI since Lula took office, resigned after images released by CNN Brasil showed him and other cabinet officials inside the Planalto Palace, on the day January 8, when vandals invaded the headquarters of the Three Powers. In a statement to the Federal Police, the general said that there was “connivance and omission by several GSI agents” and “incompetent action by the authorities responsible for the internal security of the Planalto Palace” at the time. Nine more military personnel testified to the PF last Sunday (23) after the images were released.
