Candidate, good evening.
Desconhecido
The interview will last 30 minutes, which begin counting from now.

We'll start by talking about public security.
- Neutral
Desconhecido
About: adopt the 'arrest or kill' policy against criminals
The main slogan of your campaign is 'arrested or killed.'
- Neutral
Desconhecido
About: implement enemy penal law
You openly advocate the application of the 'penal law of the enemy,' in which criminals stop being treated as citizens and in some cases lose the presumption of innocence.

About: implement enemy penal law
How do you intend to implement that policy without violating constitutional rights?
Wonderful, an honor to be here with you.
Again, I thank very much all the men and women across Brazil who helped collect these signatures so that I could have the party.
And that party gave me the right to be here with you to present our proposals.
So, thank you all, thank you to you.

About: implement enemy penal law
Everything is absolutely constitutional because the penal law of the enemy — that is, the idea of treating part of criminality as an anomalous entity, as someone who does not behave as a citizen — has already been received by our Constitution.
There is, for example, something called the 'Shoot-Down Law.'
- Neutral
About: apply the Shoot-Down Law to non-cooperative aircraft
When a foreign airplane, sometimes carrying drugs, enters national territory and does not respond to the Air Force's requests to land, it is permitted to shoot it down.
- Neutral
About: apply the Anti-Terror Law
We have other examples, for instance the Anti-Terror Law in Brazil.
The Anti-Terror Law brings the idea of the penal law of the enemy.
- Neutral
About: authorize preventive action against suspected terrorists
So, if a person is carrying a bomb, is heading to Praça da Sé in downtown São Paulo, and you know that person belongs to a terrorist organization, you can act.
That is, you anticipate punishment to arrest him or to possibly shoot him down, if necessary... So, the idea of the penal law of the enemy is to treat differently those who act very differently, those who are permanently violating human rights, as is the case with these factions.
- For
About: implement enemy penal law
And that's what we will do: we will implement the penal law of the enemy.
Ah, an anti-gang law has already passed in Brazil, already anticipating part of what we are going to do.
- For
About: reoccupy territories dominated by criminal factions
And then, in our government, we will act in a very harsh way, because we have one year to destroy these guys.

About: reoccupy territories dominated by criminal factions
These guys are making Brazilians' lives a living hell, and we need, in one year, to destroy the factions, leave them broken financially, broken morally, and return the territories that were taken by them — that is, entire cities, whole neighborhoods — to the Brazilian population.
If I do this, I would have succeeded.
Desconhecido
Now, at the launch of the campaign, your supporters ended up chanting 'arrest or kill'?
Desconhecido
Isn't there a communication problem here, since you say it's not quite like that?
The thing is, the 'arrest or kill' idea arose when a young man, I think he was a businessman, was in Parque do Povo, which is a park here in São Paulo, and he was robbed, they took his cellphone, and at the exact moment he handed the cellphone to the robber, the robber shot him and killed him.
So I was very angry; I said: what do I do with a guy like that?
Am I going to rehabilitate a robber like that?
No.
- For
About: adopt the 'arrest or kill' policy against criminals
His fate is to be arrested or to be killed.
Because it's true: faced with an armed robbery, what can you do?
- For
About: increase sentences and keep violent criminals imprisoned
The only fair, serious thing to do with a guy like that is either lock him up for a very long time, or for him to die.
Someone might say, but he might be shot by the police and only be injured.
Okay, he will be injured and then he will be taken to prison.
Now, there cannot be a third option.
Today in Brazil, we've seen 'arrested' or 'released.'
The criminal is arrested, stays a little while in jail and ends up released.
