A new human species in Brazilian slums

From the slums and prisons of Brazil: We belong to a different world

  An interview of the newspaper O Globo to Marcola leader of a known criminal organization

Marcos Willians Herbas Camacho, alias "Marcola", for more than 20 years was considered the number one enemy of justice in Brazil.

"Marcola" operates from prison he plannes his coups from the cell.

The capo is a leader of the criminal organization Primeiro Comando da Capital (First Command of the Capital), originally created to demand better prison conditions, but later it was transformed and entered the drug trade and extortion.

O Globo: You belong to the First Command of the Capital?

Marcola: More than that, I am a sign of the times. I was poor and invisible. You never looked at me for decades and formerly it was easy to solve the problem of poverty. The diagnosis was obvious: rural migration, income gap, few slums, discrete peripheries; the solution never appeared ... What did they do? Nothing. Does the Federal Government ever booked a budget for us? We were only landslides news of the villas in the mountains or romantic music about "beauty of those mountains at dawn"

We are now rich with the multinational of the drug. And you are dying of fear. We are the late beginning of your social consciousness.

those things ... Now we are rich with the multinational of the drug. And you are dying of fear. 

O Globe: But the solution would be ...

Marcola-Solution? No solution, brother. The very idea of ​​"solution" is a mistake. Have you seen the size of the 560 slums in Rio? Already did you go by helicopter on the outskirts of São Paulo? Is there a solution?, how? It would possible only if there were many millions of dollars spent in an organized manner, with a ruler of high level, an immense political will, economic growth, revolution in education, general urbanization and everything should be under the baton almost an "enlightened dictatorship" that leap over the secular bureaucratic paralysis, that pass over the Legislative accomplice. Or do you think that the bloodsucker will not act? If neglected they will draw up to the PCC. And judicial punishments that prevents almost everything. There should be a radical reform of the criminal process in the country, there should be communication and intelligence between municipal, provincial and federal polices (we make even "conference calls" between inmates ...) And all that would cost billions of dollars and would involve a move psychosocial deep in the political structure of the country. That is, it is impossible. There is no solution.
