Renan Santos: Shall we put it that way?
Renan Santos: I intend to declare a war on organized crime.
And when I say war, for the first time in Brazil, people will see what it is for a leader to confront crime and how it must be confronted.
Renan Santos: I will set up a coordination committee of state governors, also using the Federal Police, a committee that includes the state police forces, I will use COAF, I will use all instruments at the government's disposal, including ABIN, to carry out a border policy with the federal government, and I will coordinate the actions so we can destroy all the factions in the country.
Renan Santos: If that is 'militarizing'... That may be the term, but there is no transformation of Brazil into a military republic.
