Public note on the approval of Bill 2159, known as the “Devastation Bill”

In the early morning hours on Thursday (the 17th), the National Congress approved a bill (PL) 2159/2021 — dubbed, it is not without purpose, such as the “PL Devastation”. With 267 votes and 116 to the contrary, the vote was conducted in a hurry, in a session that went through the night, and only came to an end at the 3h43 in the morning. No longer enough for success in the dead of night and, away from the eyes of the society, the conference was marked also by a racist to a member of parliament, Célia Xakriabá (PSOL MG), in an attempt to silence the voice of a member of parliament and the wife of the native peoples.

The move comes just on the Day of the Protection of the Forest, came to a sad paradox, that while we should be celebrating, preserving our biomes in the country, has witnessed the adoption of a proposal for a law unconstitutional, which unravels one of the main pillars of environmental policy in brazil’s environmental licensing.

Among the proposals in the project on the Environmental Licensing requirements for Membership, and Engagement (Latin america and the caribbean), to allow for an entrepreneur to license the joint venture to its interests, and the judgments of value, without a prior analysis of the technical bodies such as the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama). In this mode, all you need is a simple record of the interested party for the release of the project.

Would be a part of the sport in Latin america and the caribbean, approximately 90% of the licensing process in the country, for a small to medium-sized projects: dams, roads, the development of agriculture and mining are a few of them, fragilizando dramatically in the control and prevention of environmental impacts.

The bill also weakens the accountability and performance of the bodies, social and environmental. In addition to the low, and the Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBio), the Palmares Cultural Foundation, the National Foundation for Indigenous Peoples (Funai) and the Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN), it would fail to perform its primary role in the review of the licensing process. Losing a significant part of his practice, in addition to the National Environment Council (Conama), and of the councils of state for the environment.

For the indigenous peoples and rural communities, the project draws on the licensing of the land is in the process of demarcation, and ignore the right to be consulted, to these people, as opposed to the Convention 169 of the International Labour Organization (ILO), ratified by Brazil.

Another critical issue is the Environmental permit of the Special (LAE), which will make the projects considered strategic under the ruling of the commission’s policy, pulling out once and for all the technical standards that seek to protect the environment and to the communities that are impacted.

To allow for the implementation of several developments on a large scale, the bill 2159 bring you quickly to the devastating consequences for the local population. In a short time, we will see an increase in deforestation, the lack of clean water, and healthy foods, contamination with toxic substances, it worsens the quality of the air , and, as a result, a growth in diseases related to these impacts on the environment.

Once, the Operation of the Amazon-Native (OPAN), if you put it on the side of civil society as a whole is organized to oppose this project, and to lay claim to the president of the Republic of the veto power in the whole of the proposal.
