Terrorists under the guise of the politically persecuted will no longer find refuge in Brazil.
Not long ago, socialist presidents who preceded me diverted hundreds of billions of dollars buying out a part of the media and parliament, all toward a project of absolute power.
They were tried and punished thanks to the patriotism, perseverance and courage of a judge who is a symbol in my country, Dr. Sergio Moro, our current Minister of Justice and Public Security.
These presidents have also transferred a good portion of such resources to other countries, with the intention of promoting and implementing similar projects throughout the region. This fountain of resources has dried up.
These same rulers came here every year and made uncommitted speeches about themes which never addressed Brazil's true interests nor contributed to global stability. Even so, they were applauded.
In my country, we had to do something about the nearly 70 thousand homicides and the innumerable violent crimes which ravaged the Brazilian population yearly. Life is the most basic of human rights. Our military police officers were the preferred target for criminals. In 2017 alone, approximately 400 military police officers were cruelly murdered. This is changing.
Measures were taken and we managed to reduce by 20% the number of homicides in the first six months of my government.
Seizures of cocaine and other drugs reached record highs.
Today Brazil is safer and more hospitable. We have just extended visa waiving to countries such as the United States, Japan, Australia, and Canada, and we are studying the adoption of similar measures toward China and India, among others.
With more security and with those exemptions, we would like it that all are able to get to know Brazil, especially our Amazon, with all its vastness and natural beauty.
It is not being devastated or consumed by fire, as the media untruthfully puts it. Each of you can verify what I am saying now.
Do not miss the opportunity to get to know Brazil, it is very different than what is plastered on many newspapers and televisions!

Religious persecution is a scourge we must fight tirelessly.
