VOICED : Indígenas marchan en Brasilia por audiencia clave sobre tierras en corte suprema

Thousands of indigenous people marched in Brasilia to advocate for their ancestral land rights, a case being reviewed by the Supreme Court. The decision, postponed due to other court matters, could impact numerous natural reserve litigations. The debate centers on whether land rights should be recognized only for lands occupied by indigenous people at the time of the 1988 Constitution. Indigenous groups argue they were forcibly removed during the military dictatorship. They also protest against President Bolsonaro's policies, which they see as persecutory and favoring illegal land occupation. Environmentalists emphasize that preserving indigenous lands is crucial for protecting the Amazon. Currently, 900,000 indigenous people live in Brazil, occupying 13% of the national territory.
