The map shows that hundreds of residents from Vila Aut\u00f3dromo do not want to be removed from their homes, disproving the City\u2019s statements. Residents wants Mayor Eduardo Paes to uphold his promises of urbanization.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"map<\/a>The residents of Vila Aut\u00f3dromo<\/a> are fighting for their rights to stay in their homes and are facing a battle against Rio’s City government\u00a0to show that they exist and are not just a few, as the City states, but many. In partnership with the technical team for the Vila Aut\u00f3dromo People’s Plan<\/a>, they have created a register of those who do not accept being removed from their homes. There are 187 families, totaling 596 people, and there are still houses being counted. These residents expect the City to keep its promise of urbanization<\/a>. Last October, Mayor Eduardo Paes committed<\/a> to allow\u00a0residents who wished to stay to remain and urbanize the area. Shortly after, an intense campaign to psychologically pressure the community was initiated, threatening those who want to stay and refusing to present an upgrading plan [to bring in promised infrastructure to those\u00a0homes].<\/p>\n

Residents have gathered\u00a0fortnightly\u00a0to procure\u00a0legal information and ways that will make the City uphold their right to a permanence project. In March of this year, Rio’s City government launched the Parque Carioca<\/a> housing complex as part of the Minha Casa Minha Vida<\/a>\u00a0federal housing program. The launch of the \u00a0new housing complex has increased pressure on\u00a0the community. City representatives\u00a0have been\u00a0in the community daily, affirming\u00a0that Vila Aut\u00f3dromo will be completely removed.<\/p>\n

The City government worked with directors of the Public Defender’s Office\u00a0to demand the demolitions<\/a> of houses of those who’ve\u00a0accepted to leave, even though they were outside the plans that required removal. Residents upheld that the houses located outside of the demolition plans should be maintained intact in order to resettle those residents wishing to stay in the community [but who currently occupy houses in the trajectory of road works]. In spite of the City\u2019s affirmation that part of the community would be urbanized, the project presented until now impedes access to houses, creates drainage problems and does not show how many families will need to be resettled. With the demolitions, construction is starting in the community\u00a0and the uncertainties of those who wish to stay increase.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want our rights to be respected. The City promised urbanization and has not fulfilled that promise. The Public Defender’s Office directors have pitted those who want to stay against those who are leaving. Those who want to stay also have the right to be defended and we will fight for this,\u201d states Inalva Mendes Brito, who has lived in Vila Aut\u00f3dromo since the 1980s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
