Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Tuesday that he and governor Sergio Cabral will visit some Rio de Janeiro favelas (slums), to announce new social investments in poor Brazilian neighborhoods.
He said police operations are not enough to fight organized crime, because people are not educated with punches, but with opportunities and solidarity.
Lula claimed the human being lives by opportunities, and if the federal government, the business sector and the local government do not offer them opportunities, the organized crime will.
The President assured he wants to give people a chance to study, so before the year 2010, 214 technical schools will be opened in Brazil.
Lula made his statements during a visit to a iron and steel complex in the industrial district of Santa Cruz.
He also inaugurated a MICHELIN tire factory in the Campo Grande neighborhood which, with an investment of 200 million dollars, will manufacture 40,000 tons of tires a year.
Lula´s tour also included opening an emergency unit, whic is part of a program to open 132 new emergency units before 2011.
