Until December 31, when the intervention officially ends, officials hope to complete the purchase of three more helicopters – two for the civilian police and one for the fire service, among other equipment.
According to General Laelio Soares de Andrade, Secretary of Administration of the Federal Office of Intervention, the greatest difficulty for the purchase of equipment is the specification of the items, an example being the purchase of rifles for the civilian police, which did not finally take place.
"We had some specification problems, the civilian police wanted a group of imported rifles, and to ensure that the specification should be very detailed, however, with this level of detail, we could direct the purchase (which is illegal), so we have not p u reach a level of balance for this purchase and we suspended the trading session two weeks ago. We would need more time for this purchase, "he said.
" What we are applying here is equivalent to an Olympic stadium. "We now have about 890 million pesos Swedish, or 74% of resources, is the equivalent of 5.16 years of investment by the State of Rio in public security.Something we fail to acquire, they will be in a very comfortable situation with the budget next year, "added General Laelio.
The decree that gave Governor Luiz Fernando Pezão the command of the police was signed by President Michel Temer on February 16, a few days after a carnival with reports of trawlers and block attacks.
Pezão himself admitted, two days before the decree, that the state was not prepared. "There was a fault in the first two days, then we imposed this police, but I think we made a mistake," said Pezão.
The state was plunged not only into a wave of insecurity, but also into a financial crisis, as evidenced by the tax collection scheme that RJ joined in September 2017.
The Post command was entrusted to the intervention. General Walter Braga Netto. The army has been in Rio since 2017, as part of ad hoc actions and in liaison with the state government. Since February, all decisions concerning the security of Rio have been taken by the speaker.
"The intervention took place at a time of serious crisis in Rio de Janeiro.The idea that the armed forces came to help was welcomed by a large part of the population," said Silvia Ramos, sociologist and coordinator of the Federal Observatory of Interventions.
"The problem is that, subsequently, what happened is not a relief, but a deepening of the aspects of politics if security is very problematic for Rio, who are of big operations, shooting and little information, "he says.
