BRAZIL: Indigenous groups demand more of Lula
On 5 April activist groups tied to the Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil (Apib), a national umbrella organisation for indigenous movements, began its annual week-long demonstration in Brasília known as the Acampamento Terra Livre (ATL). Since the start of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s current term in January 2023, the initial optimism of indigenous movements has waned, and in recent years there has been a rising sense of disillusionment and frustration over the slow pace at which Lula appears to be delivering on his 2022 election promises, such as making greater efforts to defend land rights and to demarcate more indigenous reserves.
