On Monday, October 2, 2023, the Governor of Rio de Janeiro, Cláudio
Castro (PL), negotiated with the Federal Government the mobilization of
a new National Force to intervene in the state's slums and outskirts.
Castro met with the Minister of Justice and Public Security (MJSP),
Flávio Dino (PSB), in Brasília, to align the details of the operational
plan for the new operations. ---- This measure launches the National
Program to Combat Criminal Organizations (ENFOC), an offshoot of the
Security Action Plan (PAS), signed in July by President Luiz Inácio Lula
da Silva (PT). With an investment of R$2 billion, the ENFOC will include
around 300 agents from the National Security Force and another 270 men
from the PRF (Federal Highway Police) in RJ. In addition, 50 police
cars, 22 armored cars, 1 helicopter and 1 rescue vehicle are being sent.
Such measures may surprise some members of civil society, but we must
remember that this is not an unprecedented event, quite the opposite.
The supposed "war on drugs" has spent trillions of dollars worldwide for
decades on increasingly spectacular police actions, but they have proven
incapable of causing any impact on criminal gangs, while the residents
of the territories where they are most active are the ones who really
suffer. In practice, what we see are summary executions, fabricated
arrest warrants and mass incarceration, overcrowding Brazilian prisons.
The main targets are young black people living in communities, whether
or not they are involved in illicit activities.
