Following the attacks by people from Santa Catarina on the people of the Northeast, the MPSC (Ministry of State of Santa Catarina) set up a prosecutor’s office to investigate crimes of racism, hatred and intolerance. The demonstrations held on the Internet are under consideration by the 40th prosecutor’s office of the capital.

According to the deputy, in order to create a specialized prosecutor’s office, the Prosecutor General’s Office had to redistribute powers between the capital’s prosecutor’s offices. This is due to the fact that this is not about creating a new body, but about restructuring to “improve the fight against a type of crime that has acquired a special amplitude in recent years,” the deputy’s website explains.

With the restructuring, the 40th Metropolitan Prosecutor’s Office has ceased to play the role in the field of military law, which will be carried out by the 42nd Prosecutor’s Office, which is at the stage of creation.

The proposal was approved by the Special Body of the Collegium of Prosecutors at a regular meeting on Wednesday (5).

Remember cases:

Two people from Santa Catarina have been accused of xenophobia against Northeasters online after posting hate messages from the first round of the 2022 elections, in which presidential candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) registered a large number of votes in the Northeast. east. region.

An architect from Florianopolis asks to “cancel the northeast” on the results of the first round. She also states that the region is “dead weight”. Then he says that a project needs to be done in order to “breed this rabble”.

An image with a red X over the northeast region on a map of Brazil was posted to Stories (a type of Instagram post available for 24 hours on a profile).

Shortly after publication, printouts were posted in several profiles opposing such an attitude and qualifying the act as xenophobic (the crime of prejudice against a country or region, as well as residents).

Accountant shared video on social media

Another case that made headlines on the Internet involved an accounting businesswoman who lives in Itapema, on the state’s northern coast.

On her social network, she expresses her “outrage at the country” via video and asks Santa Catarina businessmen to close the doors to workers from Bahia who come to Santa Catarina in search of work.

“Most of all, we have a work card that we sign for those bastards from the northeast who are starving there and come here to sell hammocks on the beach, apply for work and sleep in front of our establishments,” the video says. posted on the @brasilfedecovid profile.

O BUT+ I was looking for the author of the video, but she deleted her Instagram profile.
