The National congress is not to work against its own population, and the indigenous peoples become a target again

Days after the assault to the vote ordered by the draft Law (PL), 1904, PL, Rape, and the National Congress, is now investing in a Proposal for an Amendment to the Constitution (PEC), 48, known as the PEC to the Death.” Included in the session of the Committee on Constitution, Justice and Citizenship (CCJ) do Senado Federal on Wednesday (10/07), the SGP has received a collection of sights and must be voted on in October. The proposal aims to force the duration of the milestone period for which the demarcation of indigenous lands, this time by amending the Federal Constitution of 1988.

For the project, as it would be inserted in the first paragraph of article 231 of an add-on that is a game-changer for indigenous peoples, and the demarcation of their lands. The text would then read: “§ 1. lands traditionally occupied by indians, for they are inhabited on a permanent basis, the same as those used for their productive activities, which are necessary for the preservation of the environmental resources necessary for their well-being and their physical and cultural reproduction, according to their uses, customs and traditions, and they are guaranteed to be the permanent possession, which is established in the framework of a temporal on October 05, 1988”.

“It’s going to increase the social and political conflicts, and climate change. The impact of this will be very damaging,” he says Dinamam Tuxá, the coordinator of the Articulation of the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB). “It’s a lot of concern that the pressure from the congress and against the rights of indigenous people is having an effect on the functioning flash projects such as this one, going over the appointments of the executive, with the agenda for social and environmental. You need to see right now, the interest of the federal government in protecting these rights,” says Andreas Fanzeres, the Operation in the Amazon’s Native (OPAN).

The PEC has come, with the aim of joining forces for the maintenance of the law, 14.701/2023, and the law in the framework of time. Adopted with the approval of the president of the Republic, and she has already been doing more acts of violence against the indigenous peoples, and it is under evaluation by the prime minister of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Gilmar Mendes, who after the Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (Follow-up) of the APIB, parties, and other industries, due to the unconstitutionality of the already confirmed by the SUPREME court in the case of Recourse to the Extraordinary 1.017.365, the general effect. The minister, however, has decided to open a trade on the stock, causing outrage by the law of the land very seriously, entrenchment clause of a Constitution.

“The PEC 48/2023 is contrary to development and III of this thesis the general effect, and does not meet the minimum criteria for the constitution, the infliction of any substantial modification of the rights of indigenous peoples, and seek to undermine their rights to their land,” says the APIB on a note paper proposal.

As it repeats the movement of the indian, in their various spheres, and, as stated in the SUPREME court, the Federal Constitution of 1988, not to make room for the interpretation of an argument like that of the framework over time. Therefore, it would be up to the Congress, in the exercise of his public service, to work for the full compliance of the law, and do not try one more time take it down.
