  20. Desconhecido

    Neutral

    About: increase sentences and incarceration for criminals

    "And why—so our listener/viewer can understand—the jails, the 'cadeiões', house, depending on the State, from 40% to 60% of the inmates in the penitentiary system, because they are those awaiting final judgment."
    National Security
  21. Renan Santos

    For

    About: reform the prison system for rehabilitation and social reintegration

    "The model—and we have to also include police stations that still house a good part of this arrested population, or situations where the police already have the person at the station."
  22. Renan Santos

    For

    About: reform the prison system for rehabilitation and social reintegration

  23. Renan Santos

    For

    About: increase sentences and incarceration for criminals

    "What I mean is the following: I'm going to have to arrest many more people and I will increase the prisoners; they will be imprisoned for longer, which means I will have to create more spots because there will be more people imprisoned for longer periods."
  24. Renan Santos

    For

    About: use smart cameras integrated with public intelligence to increase on-the-spot arrests

    "I know one thing: from the moment we greatly increase the presence of cameras in the main cities, track the urban sprawl and increase them substantially, focusing on armed robberies — which is what creates the sense of security, armed robbery, which is what produces robbery-homicide — we will greatly discourage cell phone theft, car theft, home robbery, and ring theft, which today are the four central elements of violent crimes with firearms."
  25. Renan Santos

    For

    About: reform the prison system for rehabilitation and social reintegration

    "I need to have decent prisons, with individualization of the cell when necessary, and with spaces that are at least, let's say... dignified for people to live in."

  29. Renan Santos

    For

    About: approve the labor reform

  30. Renan Santos

    For

    About: approve the labor reform

    "So, what we can create is a regime in which we increase the base, because we reach the informal sector — everyone contributes, and as we increase the tax base, everyone contributes less, but the system remains viable."
  31. Desconhecido

    Neutral

    About: elect five federal deputies for the party in the current scenario

    "You say that, Missão has always said — even we have had it here in previous interviews — it intends to elect a relevant caucus in Congress, which counts on this to be able to advance and leverage projects, including ones that are unconstitutional."
    Parties and Elections
  32. Renan Santos

    For

    About: demand discipline and transparency in political parties

    "The beauty of having built the party is that now this will be much more difficult to do."
  33. Desconhecido

    Neutral

    About: debate structural reforms

    "So, briefly, I'd like you to talk a bit about the base reforms, which remind us of João Goulart, a political son of Getúlio Vargas, who was a dictator, and the Estado Novo refers precisely to that period from '37 to '45; by the way, there was also an Estado Novo in Portugal, which was a dictatorship."
    Reforms
  34. Desconhecido

    Neutral

    About: explain the vision behind structural reforms

    "But I wanted, if possible, for you to detail what the vision behind that concept is — whether it was deliberate, whether it was a clever move — I think it's worth using those terms."
    Reforms

    For

    About: use provocative language against political opponents

    "And all of this is provocation toward our opponents."
  36. Renan Santos

    For

    "The Yellow Book — the term 'Yellow Book' — is a provocation to what there was, for example, the Red Book of Maltesecundi."
  37. Renan Santos

    For

    About: adapt messaging for different electoral bases

    "I'm appropriating the terms you use."
  38. Renan Santos

    For

    About: foster partnerships with mayors and support interior municipalities

  39. Renan Santos

    For

    About: use the term 'commissioner' as a rhetorical provocation

    "The term we used, 'commissioner,' I don't think we'll use that term in the end, but the term is meant to provoke."
