In the first interview since his election victory, the new Brazilian President Bolsonaro announced that he would become the most important investigator on corruption in the country. The judge had also sentenced former President Lula.
The newly elected Brazilian President, Jair Bolsonaro, wants to make the Minister of Justice the most prominent investigator on corruption. He will propose to Judge Sergio Moro the post in his cabinet, said the right-wing extremist during the first televised interview since his electoral victory.
As an investigating judge, Moro played a pivotal role in the investigation of "Lava Jato" (car laundering), the biggest corruption scandal in Latin America. Last year he sentenced former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in first instance for corruption to imprisonment.
Anger of many brazilians
Bolsonaro was elected president on Sunday. The anger of many Brazilians in the face of widespread corruption had largely contributed to the success of the ex-army. In the largest economy in Latin America, politicians of all parties are involved in corruption scandals. For years, it was common in Brazil that companies pay millions to politicians and officials to obtain lucrative public contracts.
Bolsonaro gave his first interview to Record TV, which is the Universal Evangelical Church of the Kingdom of God. The arch-conservative free churches had mbadive support from Bolsonaro during the election campaign. With his rejection of gay marriage and abortion, as well as his promotion of traditional family values, the future president is fully on the evangelical line.
For a liberal law of arms
In the interview, Bolsonaro also defended his plans to liberalize the law of arms. "If there were three or four armed people in this TV studio, no crazy would come to do bad things," he said. "Even more than your own life, the weapons protect the freedom of the people."
When the interviewer asked him if more weapons would not lead to more violence, Bolsonaro threw him: "We can then ban driving."
63,000 deaths in one year
Brazil is suffering from a wave of violence: more than 63,000 people were killed last year. In comparison, last year, in Germany, about 730 homicides were committed.
Especially in the favelas, many weapons are in circulation. Crossroads equipped with fast-moving rifles guard the territories of the drug gangs on the spot. "If someone wants to do something wrong, he can easily get a gun on the black market," Bolsonaro said. "We should say goodbye to politically correct."
Bolsonaro had recently provoked racist remarks, extremist slogans and his admiration for the military dictatorship. Critics see it as a threat to the still young democracy in Brazil. Since his election victory, he is reluctant. "The opposition is always welcome and the freedom of expression is sacred," he said during an interview.
