What do the main candidates for the RJ government propose for the recovery of territories dominated by crime?

cbn12 September 2026 at 16:03

The special edition Conversa de Bastidor program on Saturday (12) presented a summary of the interviews with the main candidates for the government of Rio de Janeiro, focusing on their proposals for the recovery of territories dominated by organized crime.

The candidates covered were Douglas Ruas (PL), William Siri (PSOL), Anthony Garotinho (Republicanos), and Eduardo Paes (PSD), each presenting their strategies to confront violence in the state.

Douglas Ruas proposes the "Fluminense Shield," a constant monitoring system with technology and scanners that, according to him, would be faster and cause less disruption than current checkpoints. He highlights Guanabara Bay as the main point of entry for drugs and weapons and advocates for the creation of a permanent cabinet with the participation of the Federal Police, Armed Forces, and Navy for coastal guard.

William Siri states that his priority is to cut off the supply of weapons, ammunition, and narcotics. He emphasizes that weapons and ammunition must be the main focus because that is what gives criminals their power. However, information about Anthony Garotinho and Eduardo Paes's proposals was not included in the article.

Why this matters

Rio de Janeiro voters need to know the concrete proposals of candidates to deal with violence that directly affects their lives. The differences between action plans — from the use of technology and Armed Forces to combating arms trafficking — can influence voting decisions. The article follows a series of interviews that seek to inform the population about alternatives to one of the state's most critical problems.
