The Chamber of Deputies continues the offensive against the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST) and plans to accelerate the processing of another bill against the group this Wednesday, 17. An urgent request for an proposal that will allow the owner of invaded land to request assistance from the police force without having to appeal a court order, simply by presenting the property deed.
Approval of urgency ensures that the text can be voted directly in the plenary, without undergoing analysis in committees. The leader of the government in the House and deputies linked to the movement protest against the initiative of the president of the House, Arthur Lira (PP-AL).
“He (Lira) is in the process of revenge and is putting an agenda against the minister (of Institutional Relations Alexandre) Padilha, which is a mistake. He is making an agenda against President Lula”, said Paulão (PT-AL), who has ties to the MST, before the session even started.
As shown by the Estadãotwo episodes mobilized the reaction of Lira, Centrão and the opposition: the main one was the dismissal of the cousin of the president of the Chamber, César Lira, from the superintendence of the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (Incra) in Alagoas and the resumption of land invasions during the “Red April”.
It was the invasion of MST members into the Incra superintendency in Alagoas last year, in fact, that was the trigger for opening the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI) that investigated the movement.
Lira's discontent with the government continues to grow. Last week, after the government secured the arrest of federal deputy Chiquinho Brazão (no party-RJ) in a vote in the Chamber plenary, Lira called Padilha “incompetent” and “personal disaffection”.
The Constitution and Justice Commission (CCJ) began the offensive this Monday, the 15th, putting projects against the MST on the agenda.
In the Chamber plenary vote this Tuesday, deputies approved – 293 votes in favor, 111 against and one abstention – the urgency of a bill that prohibits invaders of rural and urban properties from benefiting from government aid and social programs federal government, in addition to prohibiting them from holding positions in public administration.
The government leader in the House, José Guimarães (PT-CE), tried to prevent the vote and even shouted into the microphone, but failed. “It is not correct, this cannot be done, it completely breaks the stance of those of us who are part of the College of Leaders”, said Guimarães. “You cannot build a majority in votes without democracy, without compliance with agreements.”
