The Court of Justice of the Federal District and Territories () granted an injunction suspending the installation of one in Vicente Pires. In the decision, the judge of the Environment Court, Carlos Frederico Maroja Medeiros, justified that hosting homeless people in a social home would have a risk to community safety.
“There is also periculum in mora [perigo na demora] Consistent with the possible urban damage and the risk of safety and well-being of potential users and the local community, due to the installation and imminent or current operation of public equipment, ”said the magistrate on August 21.
The decision was based on a video sent by the Vicente Pires Housing Residents Association (Amovipe) in which the hostel would not have a permit for operation. In the text, however, Maroja points out that the argument is contradictory, as licensing for buildings “are not characteristics much found in the region of Vicente Pires and the Samambaia Agricultural Colony, informal urban nuclei busy and built in an entirely discontinued law”.
Still, the judge argues that “disseminated misconduct cannot become a general rule.” For him, the lack of license presented in a video of the residents’ association is an important factor to suspend until licensing is proven.
On August 8, the Federal District Public Prosecution Service and Territories, with the objective of prioritizing the reception of families with children and adolescents.
After the decision, the Federal District Public Defender’s Office (DPDF) attached the document with proof of compulsory licensing. In the opinion, the Defender claims that the association “makes an argumentative mending only with the intention of justifying the fact that the middle class of Vicente Pires ‘does not want’ a social assistance service in the neighborhood”.
Dream of the oppressed is to be the oppressor
The DPDF also recalls that Vicente Pires emerged as an irregular occupation that lasted more than 50 years, and can only be regularized 3 years after an agreement by the Federal District.
“Apparently, the same association that has fought so much for land regularization, now tries to use urban legislation as an instrument to remove the ‘undesirable’ from the neighborhood. The dream of the oppressed is to be the oppressor. The manifestations performed by the community against the installation of the reception service show that the issue was never urbanistic,” the defender claims.
In a statement, the Secretariat of Social Development (Sedes-DF) reported that there was a meeting with MPDFT and the community, with elucidation of doubts and change from the public welcomed at the house to women and children.
