State or Govenment Agency?
Abin is a STATE AGENCY, not a GOVERNMENT AGENCY. The Brazilian State is permanent. Govenment is transitory. Abin has no link to political parties. It is an instrument of the State, aimed at the defense of the Brazilian society, absolutely non partidary. Its ideological fidelity is only and exclusively with democracy.
