Yeah, exactly.

The, uh, two groups, uh, in Brazil are maybe being considered to, uh, be included under this designation, PCC and, uh, Comando Vermelho.
6:42
So the Brazilian government, the current Brazilian government, is mainly aga- against it because the idea is that if Brazil receives this kind of designation, uh, for these two groups, maybe it can open doors for some kind of intervention in the future.
6:59
We can somehow lose control over, uh, the negotiations, uh, related to cooperation, uh, in security and, uh, this agenda in particular.
7:11
So, uh, in both cases, tariffs and also security issues, Brazil was trying to in advance, uh, react and avoid that this kind of action could somehow became a turmoil, especially in an electoral year such as this one in Brazil.
7:29
We're having elections in October this year, and of course President Lula is running for the, the second term, so he is trying to, uh, control the situation as much as he can.
