The government’s Secretariat for Urban Development and Housing (Republicanos-SP) charges R$85.3 million for the relocation of residents of the Moinho favela, in the center of .
Wanted by Sheet Through its communications department, the public bank did not send a response.
Actions on site have generated disagreements between the state and federal governments since the beginning of the year. In May, the Military Police launched an operation to remove residents from the favela. Reports of police brutality and the dispute over protagonism in the actions caused the Tarcísio and PT administrations to come into conflict.
In June, the governments reached an agreement under which the approximately 880 families living in the favela would receive an amount of up to R$250,000 to buy new homes. The Union would provide R$180,000, and the state, R$70,000 per unit. Thus, the property is 100% subsidized by the public authorities.
During this period, 474 contracts were assumed by CDHU (Companhia de Desenvolvimento Habitacional e Urbano do Estado de São Paulo), from the government of São Paulo, with a total value of R$118.5 million. According to the agreement between the state and federal administrations, the portion corresponding to São Paulo management for these contracts should be R$33.2 million — that is, R$70 thousand per unit.
It is the difference between these R$33.2 million and the total of R$118.5 million assumed that results in the R$85.3 million that the São Paulo ministry charges Caixa. The demand was formalized in an email sent on Tuesday (4).
Report from Sheet showed that more than one continued to live in the Moinho favela at the end of October, among the rubble of already demolished houses.
The Moinho is an occupation that was formed over more than three decades on Union land squeezed between two railway lines in the center of São Paulo.
The case is yet another example of friction between the governments of Lula and Tarcísio, who could face each other at the polls next year. Another point of controversy between the two is the construction of the Santos-Guarujá tunnel, in which both are competing for leadership.
