We extradited, during my term, about 30 kingpins from Honduras.
But later on, they used that extradition treaty to extradite me.
How is that hypocrisy?
Who did?
My policies didn't always...
much the desires of the democratic administration such as for example please using the military to fight violence i create a military police for public order in our constitution the military has the duty
to do public order too, but we didn't have that unit.
So I create that a special unit.
Do you know what I was told by the State Department?
You shouldn't be doing that, Mr. President, because you are militarizing the security of your country.
And I said, are you aware that we have the highest murder rate in the planet?
Are you aware of the corruption in the civilian police?
Are you aware of that?
Who are you saying this to?
People who were representing the Honduran desk in the State Department.
But also, I told them, listen, if you are pressuring me,
to go back in this.
You are asking me to undo what I told the Honduran people that I was going to do during my campaign.
I am not that kind of guy.
And I said, if you don't want to help us, although this problem of passing drugs to Honduras, and this murder rate, you are responsible because in your country you consume the drugs, and we are responsible also as a country because it goes through Honduras, and the guys in South America are responsible too because they produce it.
