NECROPOLITICS IN THE URBAN PERIPHERY

A STUDY ON THE LIMITATION OF POLICE OPERATIONS IN THE FAVELAS OF RIO DE JANEIRO DURING THE PANDEMIC

Abstract

This article seeks to analyze the impacts of the “Incidental Provisional Protection on the Interim Order in the Arguition of Non-Compliance with a Fundamental Precept 635”, which conditioned the conduct of police operations in the peripheral communities of the city of Rio de Janeiro, during the COVID-19 pandemic, to the need of written request. Historically, it is important to emphasize that there is a governmental indifference in guaranteeing assistance to favela residents, who live in a state of calamity in the face of police operations carried out daily in these spaces. The research methodology is qualitative, with journalistic and bibliographic research, through the analysis of scientific articles and national and international documents. The result obtained is that, with the decision of Minister Edson Fachin, in view of the decrease of operations in marginalized regions, there was, in the first 15 days, a decline in the number of deaths of inhabitants of the communities and police officials, which demonstrates a successful momentary decision.
