That kind of guy.
And when I was trying to do something, some other people in Congress, they were telling me, look, Mr. Speaker, they are going to kill us.
Remember, a couple of months ago, two years ago, they called the two anti-drug SARS that we have in Honduras.
But remember what happened in Colombia when they passed the extradition law.
A lot of terrorist attacks, a lot of killings, judges, policemen, so many other people.
So people were scared.
But I said, you know, we have to do it.
And what I did was what nobody wanted to do.
So we amended our constitution to allow the extradition for almost a century.
It wasn't allowed, extradition of Honduran nationals to any other country.
To do that, I know that I was putting my life at risk, but most scary for me was putting my family's life at risk.
But at one point, you have to make a decision.
What are the countries that we are going to inherit our children if it is a mess?
Then we became the country with the highest murder rate in the planet.
Wow.
What year was this?
What year is this?
It was from 2008, 9, 10, and 11.
And I became Speaker of the House in 2010.
