The president (PT) said that there was a clean-up in the country when referring to the operation in partnership with civil police in all states and the Federal District in crimes against children and adolescents committed mainly over the internet, which resulted in more than 49 arrests in the act.
“Today another fantastic thing happened, which is not climate-related, but is a clean-up in this country. Today there was an operation by the Federal Police to combat sexual and child exploitation carried out via the internet,” he said.
“Only in this way will we end the exploitation of girls in indigenous lands, with miners exploiting girls, in the outskirts, in poor neighborhoods, in cities, in the middle class, because there is no shortage of naughty people in this country for doing the wrong thing. These people have to go to jail and this is part of the climate cleanup that we want to do”, he added
The statement was given this Wednesday (8) during the 6th National Conference for Children and Youth for the Environment in Luziânia (GO).
On the occasion, the president was accompanied by the minister (Environment and Climate Change), the minister (Education) and the head of the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, Márcio Macêdo.
