"Daqui não saio, daqui ninguém me tira". Direito à cidade e direito à moradia no contexto da copa do mundo de 2014 da FIFA em Fortaleza e o Movimento de Luta em Defesa da Moradia (MLDM)

Abstract

This research has the purpose to study the imminent violations to the right to city and to the right to housing in the context of World Cup 2014 in Fortaleza, since it has been chosen to host the World Cup. We will look at the depth of the impending crash, due to the installation of Light Rail Transit (LRT), an enterprise on responsibility of the State Government of Ceará over 12.7 km, covering areas of consolidated houses for decades by the Communities of the rails. We will analyze the inversion of the Right to the City to the Right to Consume the City. We will study the laws that are related to housing rights to warn the possible violation of human rights and to explore the discord between these laws and the attitude of the Government. Later it will be presented the concept of social function of property as a instrument to struggle against the real estate speculation. Then, we will present the response and resistance to the residents of these communities, organized in the Struggling Movement in Defense of Housing, in Portuguese Movimento de Luta em Defesa da Moradia (MLDM), a clear demonstration of their right to the city, given to pressure the Government and its attempt to run conservative and “sanitized” public policies.
