In eves to World Cup
2014, the pacification in Rio's favela already began, but now the goberment of
Dilma Rousseff have a new strategy that is not violence, for present. "The
battle for hearts and minds" consider to clear drug gangs from 12
shanty towns in the Lins favela complex delivers security, street cleaners and
satellite TV.
Far from the weapon, these
new tactics seek to influence the inhabitants of the favelas, it is a less
violent measure but that will establish itself in the unconscious level of the
persons.
Claudio Costa, the police
spokesman said he was satisfied with the way things had gone, "It's a success," he said.
"It was quiet today. This operation today will improve the confidence in
the UPP.". Although of that today dead persons did not register, one
officer was killed and two injured in a gunfight during the "softening
up" preparations the previous week.
But the distrust of the
settlers towards " Batalhão de Operações Policiais Especiais "
continues because due to excessive violence that they have
exercised. Last week, 10 UPP officers were charged with the
torture and killing of Amarildo de Souza, a resident of
Rocinha, Rio's biggest favela. In addition, in June BOPE killed nine
residents, including seven
suspected drug traffickers, after an officer was murdered at the Maré complex,
forcing the authorities to delay the planned pacification of that vast
community.
