[Lula: Brazil Will Combat Organized Crime Independently, Rejecting Foreign Interference] Brazilian President Lula da Silva stated on the 29th that he was deeply disappointed by the United States' designation of two major Brazilian criminal groups as "foreign terrorist organizations" and its assertion that it could intervene. Lula stated that while these criminal groups are terrorists in the eyes of Brazilian society, Brazil will combat organized crime independently, without US intervention. Brazil will not accept being treated like a "child." A statement released by the Brazilian presidential palace that day emphasized that national sovereignty is non-negotiable and that Brazil's internal affairs reject any form of external interference.
