In my head, only sadness. It should not be “normal” for us that an incursion is carried out in this way, affecting the lives of thousands of people and preventing the carrying out of the most basic services. Above all the fundamental service: the right to life. Due to the occupation, the Hamilton Land Municipal Health Center and the Lourival Francisco de Oliveira Family Clinic had to close.
From the point of view of someone who has always lived in a favela, thinking about festive periods and the police entering alleys and alleys, preventing the slightest entertainment, is living on alert. Never. It is precisely where there is a greater concentration of residents and there are many children and teenagers on holiday, who take turns taking care of themselves and their relatives and neighbors while those responsible work. My heart goes into my mouth just imagining that I was once that child.
But where there is regret, there is question. The government of the State of Rio, even with the arrival of a secretary and the recreated portfolio of Public Security, does not present any plan. Regarding the operation, there was no comment from the governor, who praised the security agents on New Year’s Eve.
At a national level it is like this. After the first year of government (which pulled us out of the worst situation), we need to act instead of talking. And in this case, present alternatives.
In the land of the holy name, I hope that until the seventh day – of the year and throughout it – the balance of creation will not be that of death.
