#Editorial #MarielleFranco #Assassination #RightToHousing On March 24, 2024, the Brazilian Federal Police launched an operation resulting in the arrests of three suspects behind the March 14, 2018 murder of Rio de Janeiro Councilwoman Marielle Franco and her driver, Anderson Gomes. According to the Federal Police, Marielle’s murder is linked to her advocacy for access to land by low-income citizens in line with Brazil’s constitutional recognition of the social function of land. Marielle was also against land grabs and the militias’ clandestine land allotments, demanding that public institutions such as the Land and Cartography Institute of the State of Rio de Janeiro and Rio’s Public Defenders’ Land and Housing Nucleus take a leading role in investigating these land practices. Marielle and other opposition councilors denounced that the bill would favor land grabbing, urban expansion in areas meant for environmental conservation, and the construction and sale of irregular properties by militias, rather than the development and regularization of favelas. This illegal and mafia-like real estate chain does not operate in the shadows. Militia gangs offer these properties through real estate agencies, even offering the possibility of financing them by the militia itself. “In general terms, militia urbanism exploits the complicity of City Hall, bribery, coercion or threats of violence by inspectors, the infiltration of militia members into legislative bodies and positions of trust in the Executive Branch, in addition to the support, at various levels, from Civil and Military Police.” Read the full editorial on #RioOnWatch: https://lnkd.in/dP_i5XK9

Benjamin Netanyahu in a situational assessment at the Foreign Ministry: “We will not accept harm to Jews—not in Amsterdam, not in Europe, not anywhere else. There is currently no assessment of a kidnapping event. This is a severe antisemitic incident, and it puts us, as well as other countries, in danger. Justice must be served against the rioters, and this is a necessary condition!👊🏻🇮🇱🇮🇱👊🏻
