Rio 247 - Federal deputy Wadih Damous (PT-RJ) criticized on Twitter the violence against the poor as a result of the military intervention in Rio de Janeiro, commenting on the death of 14-year-old Marcos Vinicius, who was shot in the back on his way to school during a police operation in Maré.
"The boy M Vinicius was killed because he lived in the favela," Damous posted. "People like the Minister of Justice don't consider favela residents to be human beings. That's why he thinks favela residents can and should die, just like the Palestinians in the Middle East and the Jews in the Second World War," he also wrote.
In an interview given in February, the Minister of Justice in the Temer government, Torquato Jardim, shortly after the intervention, stated that "there is no war that is not lethal" and mentioned that even a "cute child" could be a target. "We don't know what they will do after school," he declared.
