In the first weeks of his government, Jair Bolsonaro was confronted with one of his main electoral flags, that of public security, main concern of 58% of the population, according to XP Investimentos research published this week. The serious crisis that occurred two weeks ago in Ceará forced its management to resort to the same trickery as all previous governments: sending National Force professionals and handing over vacancies in federal prisons to faction leaders. . It's about the same. Organized crime groups are responsible for at least 220 attacks in 51 cities of Ceará, including nearly half in the capital, Fortaleza. Linked by the lack of continuity in the actions and by a state program and surprised by the wave of crimes, the president was forced to give in front of a governor who was always opposed to him, PT Camilo Santana [19659002"TheBolsonarodidnotactonitsownitonlyreactedtoarequestfromthelocalgovernment"saidsociologistIgnacioCanooftheCoreSchoolofViolenceStudiesoftheStateUniversityofRiodeJaneiro(UERJ)InthesamespiritthesociologistRenatoSérgiodeLimaexecutivedirectoroftheBrazilianForumforPublicSecurityfollowed"Atthemomentforoldproblemsthesolutionswerethesameasforpreviousgovernments"saidLimaUntilnownonewplanhasevenbeenannouncedasbeingplannedbythenewgovernmentUntilnowthebigactionofthenewadministrationintheregionwastoeasethepossessionofweaponsinthecountrywhichwasruledunconstitutionalbythebodyoftheMPFonFriday
It can not be said that coordinated attacks by prisons have been surprising in the country. Five years ago, January included small rebellions to mbadacres ordered by criminal gang leaders. The most serious occurred in Pedrinhas, Maranhão (2014). in Boa Vista, Roraima; in Manaus, Amazonas; Alcaçu, Rio Grande do Norte (2017);
The difference, this time around, is that there is no violence against detainees, only reactions outside prisons, which seems to scare even more population. "We suppress communication and benefits.And this resulted in this series of actions in the streets to intimidate the state."
Last Thursday, Santana met with the Minister of Justice and the Public Security, Sergio Moro, in Brasilia, Brazil, and called for the dispatch of 90 other prison officers in his state to distribute them in state prisons as a security enhancement. He was treated. Since the beginning of his second term in the administration of the state of Ceará, the governor has encountered a sort of truce between major factions operating in the state. They met because the new Department of Prison Administration decided to discontinue communications in prisons, reduce the benefits of inmates and not separate them further by factions. The strategy was the same as that of Rio Grande do Norte, which had been confronted with a similar crisis in January 2017. The halving of the number of homicides committed in Ceará, which had experienced a crescendo, was reduced by the wave of attacks,
Since the beginning of the crisis, marked mainly by attempts to implode viaducts and bridges, as well as by attacks against public buildings, the state has received approximately 300 National Force and 50 other federal highway officers. Ceará has 29,000 police officers, according to local government data. For the sociologist Lima, only the reinforcement of security is not enough. "In practice, this number of police officers is low, given that they take turns between teams, which equates to just over 100 more police a day on the streets." According to him, it would be necessary to strengthen the intelligence activities, trying mainly to determine where the resources that feed the activity of criminal groups came from.
The police officers of Santa Catarina, Bahia and São Paulo were finally transferred to Fortaleza after clbad organizations, including the National Federation of Military Entities (FENEME), to facilitate the payment of their tickets. # 39; air. All without the direct involvement of the National Secretariat for Public Security, which has commanded General Guilherme Teophilo, PSDB candidate who lost this year's election to the Government of Ceará. This secretariat is the body responsible for the interlocution between States and the Union. "We were only a facilitator, we do not discuss and discuss security policy."
A fact that draws attention is that a little over a month ago , the Union inaugurated in Fortaleza the North-East Integrated Public Security Intelligence Center This body would be a link between the military police, the civilian police, the federal police and the road police of the nine states of the region. But he could not foresee the attacks, but Governor Santana says that if there were no police information, the situation in the state could be worse
This week, according to the governor, the police estimated that the next target of the criminals would be a cell phone transmission from TIM.They eventually stopped the bad guys and avoid the explosion.In addition, the police were able to learn 5.7 tons of stolen explosives at the end of last year by a local business, there is still at least 300 kg left. Some of them have already been used to try to destroy public roads in Ceará. Thursday night, nearly 400 suspects were arrested and 39 leaders transferred to federal prisons.
The new goal of state and federal authorities is now to attempt to change the criminal law. The goal is to amend the anti-terrorism law so that attacks like those in Ceará are conceived of as terrorism. "You use bombs to blow up viaducts and power transmission towers, this can only be described as terrorism.We need to review the law," complained Governor Santana.
