In a recent operation conducted by the Guarda Civil Municipal (GCM) in Ferraz de Vasconcelos, about 20 individuals were removed from an occupation that had lasted for approximately 20 days on Rua Paschoal Lobosco. This action took place amid concerns regarding the environmental protection status of the area, as stated by the city's administration, which emphasized the need for the property to be cleaned and preserved by its owners.

The occupation site was described as chaotic, with tents set up along with garbage bags, mattresses, and furniture. The municipal administration expressed particular concern about the presence of children living under inadequate conditions in one of the tents, highlighting past attempts to assist the occupants that included social workers offering help. The GCM reported that the operation was carried out peacefully without any resistance from those being evicted.

This incident reflects ongoing tensions surrounding homelessness and urban occupation in Brazilian cities, where local governments often find themselves balancing the need for environmental protection and the rights of individuals seeking shelter. The Ferraz de Vasconcelos case raises questions about the adequacy of government support for vulnerable populations and the ongoing discourse on informal housing solutions in urban environments.
