In the morning of February 16 after a meeting between the shift manager of the Federal Republic Michel Temer (PMDB), the Governor of Rio de Janeiro state Pezão (PMDB) and the head of the deputy chamber Rodrigo Maia one day before, the federal intervention of the armed forces in all the repression apparatus of Rio de Janeiro state was announced and decreed until the end of 2018.

This is the result of a process of sharpening of the contradictions between the ruling classes and the people, due to the crisis which is paid ate the cost of the blood of the people, the increase in repression and also the centralization of the repression. This process was already being formulated in the Workers Party management with the creation of the National Force police department, with the military centralization in the occupation of the Maré and Alemão favelas and also during the Olympics as an experience to raise the repression to another level.
Also the plan to create the Ministry of Security is another policy that aims to the centralization in the national level of this repression rapid increase.
During the last week, in the carnival holyday, in which the whole city changes its dynamics, the media monopoly was making terrorism saying the police are not being enough to take care of the (poor) “criminals” and is spreading hate against the poor people in Rio de Janeiro favelas.

Another thing the manager Temer said in his speech was that the intervention will be interrupted for voting the social security (counter) reform once is not constitutional to change the federal laws during military intervention.
This policy is another leap in the repression against the people and the terror the state aims to spread among the people is going to turn against it, the people is accumulating flammable material to explode in rebellion against the landlord and bureaucratic capitalist state.
