"PRECISAMOS CONSTRUIR UMA ALCATRAZ BRASILEIRA" | Romeu Zema no Metrópoles

"Ten years fit on a timeline."

"And there are thousands of headlines that recount events that marked Brazil and the world."

"In the last decade, we went beyond the news."

"We became a constant presence in conversations."

"We brought news scoops."

"We offered reflections."

"We became a daily companion for our readers."

"And a point of connection between brands and audiences."

"We understand that information... doesn't live only in the headline."

"It pulses on social networks, sparks debates on WhatsApp, comes alive in the streets and on the radio."

"Along this timeline, we produced content beyond the digital."

"We created experiences, stirred emotions, launched challenges, provoked new ideas, and reached the top as the most accessed news portal in Brazil."

"For us, more than a number, this is a reminder that every click is a vote of confidence."

"Every investigation is a responsibility."

"Metrópolis, 10 years, because as long as there are stories, we will be here to tell them."

"Watching the present, connected with tomorrow."

"Metrópolis, about everything that matters."

"Hello to you who follow us here on the Metrópolis Portal; today we are going to talk with the governor of Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema."

"We will address several subjects."

"Public security, the 2026 elections, the Lula government."

"So, welcome to Metrópolis, governor Romeu Zena."

"Good morning, Capelli."

"Good morning to those who are following us."

"A great pleasure to be here with you."

"Governor, in next year's elections, two themes will be predominant."

"In general elections, the economy is the issue that rules."

"But in next year's elections, the topic of public security... will be equally important or even more so."

"That's because the population is tired of drug trafficking in Brazil."

"There was also the police operation carried out in Rio de Janeiro, which killed more than 100 suspects, four police officers killed, which even led to the creation of the so-called peace consortium, what you call the consortium of conservative governors."

"So I wanted to start with this theme, the theme of public security."

"How do you see... the projects that are under consideration in the Chamber, above all the Anti-Faction PL, with rapporteur Guilherme De Ritchie, whom you know well, Secretary of Public Security of São Paulo, who returned to Brasília to report the text."

"What advances do you consider necessary to toughen sentences, to confront organized crime?"

About: reduce homicides in the country

"Well, Capelli, Brazil, unfortunately, has been the world champion in homicides for decades."

"At least 40 thousand lives are lost here in Brazil every year."

About: combat organized crime and strengthen public security

"And a government that talks so much about the social seems to me to be not at all involved in wanting to improve this issue."

"After the operation in Rio de Janeiro, I think Brazilians watched, they saw that those who most approved that type of operation were those suffering the consequences, there in the community."

"It's those who are extorted by organized crime when paying the electricity bill, the water bill, the internet bill, whose car can't enter or go up because there's a barricade."

"We have areas here that are truly territories of organized crime."

"And living with that is a terror for those who live there."

"Even for you, for me, who do not live in those controlled areas, we don't have so much of a problem."
