Crise Migratória em Roraima, Brasil: Análise da Operação Acolhida como representação do Governo Federal

Abstract

The general objective is to analyze Operation Acolhida as a representation of the Federal Government in the case of the Venezuelan migration crisis in Roraima. The methodology included document analysis, observation, interviews, and discourse analysis. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The interviews were conducted with migration agents, migrants, and local residents, using specific scripts for each group. In participant observation, researchers were directly involved in events and situations related to the crisis, seeking a deeper understanding. Simultaneously, relevant documents were collected and analyzed. Data analysis involved transcribing, organizing, and thematically categorizing the interviews, as well as using content analysis to identify patterns and trends. Triangulation was applied to compare information from different sources, increasing the validity and reliability of the results. At the end of the study, it was observed that, although Operation Acolhida played a fundamental role in providing humanitarian assistance to migrants, its implementation generated ambiguous perceptions among the local population, who felt overwhelmed by the resources directed toward immigrants. The analysis showed that mass migration exacerbated economic, social, and structural problems in Roraima, leading to social tensions, increased inequality, and an overload on public services. Despite the importance of Operation Acolhida, criticisms regarding its management were identified, highlighting the need for a more balanced approach that addresses the needs of both migrants and the local population. The continuation of inclusive public policies that promote social integration and equal rights will be essential to overcoming the challenges posed by the migration crisis and ensuring a more harmonious and sustainable coexistence in Roraima.
