The vice-president and minister of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services, Geraldo Alckmin (PSB), criticized this Tuesday (16) the invasion of private and productive lands. He participated in a meeting with representatives of the Agricultural Parliamentary Front (FPA). “Invasion cannot be tolerated by anyone. Invaded, must clear, comply with the law. Total respect for private property,” said Alckmin.

In a note, the FPA informed that more than 80 parliamentarians, members of the bench, participated in the meeting. From January to April, the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST) invaded 33 rural properties in Brazil. “Deputies and senators highlighted that the blockade that has hindered the understanding of the sector with the government is the ideological position – mainly, related to the right to property”, says the note from the FPA.

“This distances us, it generates a very serious point of concern, and it is what we are trying to temporize in relation to some attitudes such as that of President Lula who cursed representatives of the agro as a fascist. This greatly hinders dialogue and building bridges,” argued the president of the FPA, Pedro Lupion (PP-PR).
