   Good morning, Amanda.
6. Romeu Zema0:10 · play in the video

   Good morning to everyone who is with us.
7. Romeu Zema0:12 · play in the video

   It's a great pleasure to be with you.

   This race is getting exciting, huh, governor?

9. Desconhecido

   They were already thinking it was a foregone conclusion, but you see the gap between left and right is becoming narrower.

10. Desconhecido

    I'll address that with you in just a moment.

11. Desconhecido

    But before that, I'd like to return to the most gripping topic of the week, that attempt to vote the anti-faction bill, reported by Guilherme de Ritchie, authored by the government, reported by Guilherme de Ritchie, and which underwent a rebranding — it was renamed, becoming a legal framework for combating organized crime.

12. Desconhecido

    And yesterday, you, right-wing governors, met in the so-called Consórcio da Paz, met with the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Mota, and asked for the postponement of that bill.

13. Desconhecido

    I want to know why, if it is a bill reported by someone you trust, of your closest confidence, who is someone from the conservative camp like Guilherme Derrit, it did not obtain the support of the right-wing governors.

14. Desconhecido

    1:07 · play in the video

    Why, governor?
15. Romeu Zema1:11 · play in the video

    Well, Amanda, it's important to make this very clear.
16. Romeu Zema1:14 · play in the video

    We, right-wing governors, are totally in favor of this bill by Derrit.
17. Romeu Zema1:22 · play in the video

    A bill that will greatly increase criminals' sentences.
18. Romeu Zema1:28 · play in the video

    That's excellent, because today the cost of being a criminal in Brazil, Amanda, is very low.
19. Romeu Zema1:36 · play in the video

    And this bill greatly increases the penalties.
20. Romeu Zema1:39 · play in the video

    I was with Derrite yesterday and he said that in some cases we will have 60-year sentences.
21. Romeu Zema1:47 · play in the video

    That is unprecedented for Brazil.
22. Romeu Zema1:51 · play in the video

    So the cost of crime will increase.
23. Romeu Zema1:54 · play in the video

    Now we have many right-wing parliamentarians, governors and I as well, who wanted a more comprehensive bill, one that would include a review of the age of criminal responsibility.
24. Romeu Zema2:08 · play in the video

    I think it's outrageous that a 17-year-old grown man can kill and go on as if nothing had happened, without punishment.
25. Romeu Zema2:19 · play in the video

    We also need to review the classification of these organized crime factions as terrorist organizations and a number of other points.
26. Romeu Zema2:31 · play in the video

    But what was decided was: we'll vote on what is already ready, what has already been discussed, to some extent debated, and in a second stage we'll look at those other changes.
27. Romeu Zema2:48 · play in the video

    So, we will certainly have a very significant advance in public security in Brazil in the coming months.
28. Romeu Zema2:58 · play in the video

    Not only this bill, but others will be proposed, analyzed and, in my view, approved.
29. Romeu Zema3:08 · play in the video

    Because this, Amanda, is the great public outcry.
30. Romeu Zema3:13 · play in the video

    Especially from those who live in areas controlled by organized crime, who make these people's lives a living hell.
31. Romeu Zema3:24 · play in the video

    So, I hope it will be the first of many steps we will take on the issue of public security, which is the great cancer Brazil faces at the moment.

32. Desconhecido

    3:35 · play in the video

    Governor, so let me see if I understood.

33. Desconhecido

    3:37 · play in the video

    Hugo Mota moved this vote to next week, initially on Tuesday.

34. Desconhecido

    3:41 · play in the video

    So the governors will support this fourth version in five days, released yesterday by Guilherme Derrit, and will then propose this further hardening of the laws, with a review of the age of criminal responsibility and the equating of [these groups] to terrorist organizations in other bills.

35. Desconhecido

    3:57 · play in the video

    Is that how you are imagining it?

36. Desconhecido

    3:59 · play in the video

    Are you going to support this fourth version from Derrit next week?
37. Romeu Zema4:05 · play in the video

    There is, Amanda, it is worth remembering, a difference of opinion among governors.
38. Romeu Zema4:11 · play in the video

    We have governors who think this bill is great, but would like it to be strengthened, combined with more measures.
39. Romeu Zema4:23 · play in the video

    My opinion is that we should vote on it immediately, because it represents a major step forward.
40. Romeu Zema4:31 · play in the video

    And then we should propose new bills to reinforce this trend of increasing penalties and reducing the immunity that many criminals have.
