Living in a favela is a relatively cheap option for all the employees who keep the daily business up and running. With the upcoming Soccer World Cup police forces are working hard to „clean“ the streets of gangs. Once a favela is secured they install a peace police to start the pacification process. They build infrastructure e.g. water and electrical power supply and offer benefits to people who use those instead of the illegal wiring.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBesides corruption the pacification process brought benefits for all. Less gang wars, tourists going to the favelas as it is quite save now and therefore some income from tourism even inside those areas.<\/p>\n\n\n I loved the short time I spent in Rio and am looking forward to go back to Brazil to discover more places of this huge country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get a glimpse of Rio de Janeiro, some thoughts on the pacification process, panoramas of this great city and from its favelas.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5647,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1937,2215,1941,2243],"tags":[2632,2633,2634,2635,2448,2638,2636,2570,2637],"class_list":["post-5645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photos-de","category-panoramas-de","category-travel-de","category-street-de","tag-copacabana-de","tag-corcovado-de","tag-ipanema-de","tag-jesus-de","tag-panoramas-de","tag-travel-2-de","tag-rio-de-janeiro-de","tag-street-de","tag-sugarloaf-mountain-de"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.helmutsteiner.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.helmutsteiner.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.helmutsteiner.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.helmutsteiner.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.helmutsteiner.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5645"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.helmutsteiner.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5645\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.helmutsteiner.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.helmutsteiner.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.helmutsteiner.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.helmutsteiner.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nSounds great, doesn’t it? The only problem is that the whole system is corrupt and a new form of organized crime is deeply involved in this pacification process. (If you are interested in this topic I suggest watching the movie Tropa de Elite 2. Brazilian people I talked to loved this movie because as they said: It is true. You are more of an action loving person? Watch Tropa de Elite first and then the second part.)
