What the program says

We will declare war on organized crime. The PCC, the CV, militias and all the other factions will be declared narco-terrorist organizations. They will be fought with force, intelligence and integration so that their leaders are arrested and their illicit businesses, suffocated. We will follow the money of crime: we will freeze assets and dismantle the money laundering that sustains the factions. A criminal armed with a rifle in hand will be shot dead by the security forces. We will form consortia and agreements with states and municipalities to invest in intelligence, the retaking of territories aligned with structural public policies, technology, state-of-the-art weaponry and the valuing of police officers. It is the law that will once again be in charge in Brazil. [p. 13]
