Samara Martins: In fact, I am from Minas Gerais and my family lives in Minas Gerais, and this issue of privatizations, including Copasa, my father is a Copasa worker.
Samara Martins: This is a surrender of our sovereignty, especially because a large part of these privatizations is carried out for foreign companies.
And having in the hands of other countries central matters, strategic minerals, strategic wealth for our country, is not defending sovereignty; it is not defending the economic independence of our country.
Samara Martins: So we have defended ending privatizations, nationalizing all the riches of our country.
Samara Martins: And this applies to iron ore, as in Minas Gerais: mining has proceeded rampantly, even destroying the environment in our country.
