BRAZIL: Indigenous rights activists vent frustration
When he took office in January last year, Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva declared his intention to support the land rights of indigenous communities, promising to demarcate more indigenous territories (TIs), especially following the previous governments of centre-right former president Michel Temer (2016-2018) and far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2023), when no TIs were given protected demarcated status. However, indigenous rights groups marching in Brasília for the annual Acampamento Terra Livre (ATL) demonstration have expressed frustration that Lula is not doing enough to deliver on his promises.
