Bancada do Agro says it hopes that the judgment on the demarcation of indigenous lands will be suspended

The Parliamentary Front for Agriculture (FPA) hopes that the Federal Supreme Court will suspend the judgment on the time frame of indigenous lands, which is scheduled to be resumed on Wednesday (7).

The FPA was the main articulator of the approval of the bill in the Chamber, which took place last week on an urgent basis. The deputies’ objective was to try to prevent the STF from continuing the judgment on the subject.

The rapporteur for the time frame in the Chamber, deputy Arthur Oliveira Maia (União-BA), said he hoped that the STF would paralyze the judgment on the subject. “The country cannot live in a limbo of insecurity”, said Maia, during the session that approved the bill for the time frame.

Senator Tereza Cristina (PP-MS) also said she believed in the possibility of the STF removing the issue from the agenda. “Congress is doing its job, which is to vote on such an important project that has been on hold for over 16 years. I think it is possible for the STF to remove it from the agenda and wait for Congress to decide. It is a matter that Congress needs to decide, much more than the STF,” said the former Minister of Agriculture in the Bolsonaro government in an interview with Rádio Itatiaia.
