I'm sure the left doesn't want you to see this.
I just had a meeting here with Vice President Félix.
I'm starting my first day here in San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador.
This country here used to be one of the most violent in the world and today it is one of the safest.
And this was done in a short period of time, about four years.
And I, my Secretary of Public Security, came here to see what the formula is that worked so well.
Everything indicates that it is the State acting against criminal organizations.
For sure, we will be seeing a lot of good things here.
Today I will also be participating, meeting with the local media, the main outlets, who want to know what is happening in Minas and in Brazil.
And something very simple happened here.
The law came back into force and the people returned to the streets.
I'm here at the TCS broadcaster, El Salvador's main one, to take part in the program Frente a Frente.
which has one of the largest audiences and I will be interviewed here by Moisés Urbina, who is one of the country's top presenters.
We have organized crime dominating entire neighborhoods, regions of several cities in Brazil.
23 million Brazilians live in areas dominated by organized crime.
They should be considered, characterized as terrorist organizations, because they cause terror.
If they are classified as terrorist organizations, our federal government will have an obligation
to deploy the Federal Police and even the Army to act against these organizations.
And this government, as incredible as it may seem, does nothing to combat them.
Nothing.
Brazilians' dissatisfaction today with the PT government, Lula, is very high.
I think this is a disgrace for Brazil.
In Brazil people are killed more than in any country at war that has guerrillas.
There are more than 40,000 homicides per year.
40,000.
Those who live in these areas today have to pay these organizations in order to be able to use electricity, water, internet.
They are constantly being coerced by these organizations and we have a State that thinks this situation is normal.
Today we have more than 80 criminal organizations in Brazil.
It grows year by year.
So you need to set a limit on this.
The best is to eradicate them.
This used to be all controlled, then, by the factions.
Today, better than last year?
Desconhecido
Yes, it's better, because before there was a lot of control, true, by the gangs.
Desconhecido
Before, here, let's say, there were these very large instances of insecurity, since young people couldn't go out.
Desconhecido
We were also accused by the gangs, in every sense, both inside the colony that was our colony; it's no longer said outside.
Desconhecido
Here, if you had a vehicle, you had to enter with the lights off; it was like a password to show you were from here.
Desconhecido
If not, they wouldn't let you in.
Desconhecido
I paid a fee, which they called 'renda', of $150 per week.
Desconhecido
$150 per week.
