BRAZIL: Indigenous groups give tepid endorsement for Lula
Brazilian indigenous activists led by the umbrella organisation Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil (Apib) held the annual Acampamento Terra Livre (ATL) from 5-11 April, a series of demonstrations and events in Brasília, in which they reiterated the long-running demands of indigenous movements and sought to exert pressure on President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. However, despite the frustrations of activists with the government, indigenous leaders still declared their support for Lula’s re-election bid in the October presidential race, albeit with less enthusiasm compared to the 2022 election.
