M11, Fortaleza, Brazil: Army in the streets and trade closed


The Army assumes the control of safety's operation for to 43rd Annual Meeting of BID (I Support Interamerican of Development). The information was passed yesterday, in meeting in CDL, for Security Secretary Cândido Vargas, when detailing the actions that should be executed.

Interdicted streets, rigidity in the pedestrians' access in the proximities from where meetings and special outline of safety are happening at 36 hotels to guarantee the participants' of the 43rd Annual Meeting of the Interamerican Development Bank (BID), that it will happen in Fortaleza from 7 on March 13. All this under the coordination of the Army - through to 10th Military Area - that will go to the streets with the support of the Aeronautics, Navy, Brazilian Agency of Investigation (Abin), Police Federal, Military, Civil and Fire brigade. The contingent will work uniformed or infiltrated among the population.

The details of prepared safety's plan for the event were presented yesterday, for the Public Safety's Secretary and Defense of the Citizenship, Cândido Vargas de Freire, during meeting in the Club of Comerce Leaders (CDL) where they participated about 30 leaderships of the trade of the Capital. The secretary highlighted that the request so that the Army assumed the operations left of him, due '' the magnitude of the event ''. The organs of public safety of the State will make available about three thousand people for us to collaborate in the operation. He didn't know how to say which will be the total contingent to be used in the operation.

The meeting in CDL also served so that the shopkeepers took a position. The operation of the trade in the Center on the 11 is unviable and the stores should close. On that day the presentation is foreseen in Theatro Jose of Alencar of the ballet Edisca. Due to that, the quadrilateral understood among Duque de Caxias, General Sampaio, May 24 and Sao Paulo, in agreement with the security operation, would have to be interdicted of the 13 to the 22 hours.

The initial idea is that the stores worked to 12 o'clock. As however the people's retreat in just one hour would generate confusion, the shopkeepers find better to close to the doors. The proposal, however, it should still be discussed with the governor. One of the put options is that it could be decreed holiday on the 11, in exchange for the 19, in honor to Sao Jose, saint of Ceara State.

The justification so that the interdiction happened in the beginning of the afternoon, in spite of the presentation to be just at the 20 hours, it is due to the precaution, according to the safety's cupola. On this same day it will be interdicted, of 7 at the 13 hours, the passage between João Cordeiro and Antônio Augusto, since there is meeting in Sebrae (Government Service of Support to the Company). In the other days similar situation will happen in the proximities of the Center of Conventions, Northeast Bank of Passare and Centro Dragao of the Sea of Art and Culture.
