['Please Enter Your Name Here']
Date: None

This Wednesday, the new president of Brazil, the far-right Jair Bolsonaro decided to transfer the obligations of the National Foundation of the Indian, which decides on the demarcation of indigenous lands to the Ministry of Agriculture. With this measure, these lands are open for commercial activities, until now prohibited, such as mining.

The Ministry of Agriculture intends to take the lands of the indigenous peoples

Bolsonaro decided to return to his revolving machine gun first in the direction of the indigenous people. And that ministry always wanted to take the land of the original peoples. Whether to plant, or to explore the mining riches of the subsoil. Brazil 247 recalls that the means of survival of the ancestral communities are the lands, especially the forests that cover them, because they live off of hunting. Reducing land means reducing your ability to survive.

The digital newspaper warns that without land, the Indians will have to adhere to the white civilization or disappear soon due to lack of food. Reducing their areas also means increasing deforestation, because agribusiness needs to kill trees to grow, with unpredictable ecological damage.For the leader of the Movement of the Landless, Joao Pedro Stedile, the new neo-fascist government will apply ultra-neo-liberal policies.

Bolsonaro will benefit landowners

During his electoral campaign, the current president expressed his intention to put indigenous lands at the order of commercial activity, and in this way favor the agrarian sector, described as one of the”powers that be” of the nation. Bolsonaro closes more than 100 years of protection to the true owners of all the lands of Brazil.
