Brazil: Indigenous people denounce Bolsonaro's land demarcation policies
Hundreds of indigenous people marched in Sao Paulo on Thursday, against Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's indigenous land demarcation policies. Similar protests also took place in cities across the country.
Bolsonaro's decision to transfer the authority over demarcation of indigenous lands from the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of Agriculture, is cited across the media as the main cause behind the protests. Critics see the move as a direct conflict of interest, pitting the agribusiness lobby against indigenous groups.
