What the program says

We do not grow coca or produce cocaine. But under Lula and the PT, the Port of Santos has become one of the largest cocaine exporters in the world. We will use special troops of the Navy and the Air Force to permanently occupy and monitor Brazilian ports and airports. A drug trafficker who resists and confronts the State will be arrested or will turn to dust. [p. 15]
