A ausência de vagas nas ILPI ́S públicas em São Luís-MA: uma análise da atuação extrajudicial do Ministério Público do Estado do Maranhão sob a perspectiva estrutural

Abstract

This paper discusses the use of appropriate methods by the Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Maranhão (MPMA) in combating the limitation of the number of vacancies in the public Long-Term Care Institutions for the Elderly (ILPI) of São Luís-MA, Solar do Outono and the Instituto Movimentação para o Desenvolvimento Social (IMDS). In short, given the aging population, the insufficiency of public policies and the ageism rooted in the family and extra-family, there is an increase in the demands for institutionalization of elderly people, evidencing the impossibility of treatment in the judicial sphere. In view of this, the aim is to analyze the extrajudicial action of the MPMA in the search for a solution to the structural dispute of the lack of vacancies in the public ILPI's of São Luís-MA, presenting the components that form a structural dispute, as well as relating the offer of vacancies in the public ILPI's with the structural dispute and identifying the extrajudicial action of the MPMA to resolve the lack of vacancies. Thus, the study was carried out based on the verification of bibliographical devices and institutional reports, using websites such as Google Scholar, Scielo and others. Thus, it was found that the Public Prosecutor's Office acts as a Protection Network, together with the government of Maranhão and the Municipality of São Luís-MA, through meetings, annual inspections, seminars and public hearings for the implementation of new vacancies and the development of public policies, such as the creation of Day Centers and foster families. However, it is worth noting the absence of a strategic plan. Therefore, it was concluded that there is a need for an appropriate treatment for the offer of vacancies in public ILPIs.
