"Dilma talks about the Family Grant. Then you bestow the poor community, and they start having children. It is necessary to set a birth control policy," he said.
According to the military police, three armed robbers held up the housemaid while she took out the garbage, around 9am. The robbers were armed with pistols and held up the deputy and his wife into house. They spent about 40 minutes on the spot and fled carrying jewelry, cell phones and money. A fourth robber waited outside the home on a car, used to run away.
Curiati is in his eighth term (mandate) in the Legislature, where he is leader of the Progressive Party.
What is your opinion about the deputy’s polemic statement? Do you agree with a birth control of low income population to avoid the criminality?
