Army is going to maintain public order in Rio \u0026 # x27;

rio de janeiro - The Brazilian army is trying to maintain public order in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The state is slightly larger than our country and has almost as many inhabitants.

Rio de Janeiro is plagued by a wave of violent crime. The dragging economic recession has, among other things, eroded the police by lack of investment. President Michel Temer proposes Friday for a general to place the head of security in the state. He must make the city safer with his troops during 2018. However, the parliament must quickly agree with the measure.

In October there are presidential elections in Brazil.
