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.

It was from 2008, 9, 10, and 11.

And I became Speaker of the House in 2010.

So I started to create those instruments in order to go after the narcotraffickers.

I did also lead and approve in Congress the anti-laundry money law, the seizing law.

We create a very controversial law that some people from the United States didn't like it, the Democrats, from the very far left.

They call it the shooting law.
