he Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI) against the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST) came to an end this Wednesday (27) with an agromilitary bench political defeat. In the end, the far right was unable to even put the report prepared by Ricardo Salles to a vote.
he Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI) against the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST) ended in a major defeat for the movement’s detractors. The commission, headed by deputies Lieutenant Colonel Zucco (Republicanos-RS) and Ricardo Salles (PL-PSP) was closed on September 27th, without the final report being voted on.
Both sought greater political prominence with the CPI but were unable to burst through the bubble of their ideological niches. In addition, Salles’ attempt to run for mayor of São Paulo failed, and in turn, Zucco became better known for his attacks on congresswoman Sâmia Bonfim (PSOL-SP), who denounced him for sexism and homophobia, than for the agenda of the CPI itself.

Landless women are each day taking more space over and assuming leading roles in the struggle for land and Popular Agrarian Reform in Brazil. Taking on a variety of areas and collectives, such as production of healthy foods and herbal medicines, essential to ensure life, health and the survival of landless families in MST camps and settlements across the country.
“Experiences have changed several things in relation to peasant women’s life in settlements. Firstly, production of chocolates, nibs, bonbons and cocoa derivatives have represented us, where women play a leading role. Secondly, these women have felt appreciated with the result of their work. Thirdly, they also started to be bold and make important decisions, with their financial freedom. So, women have decision-making autonomy,” celebrates Zonalia dos Santos, a resident of the Madre Cristina settlement, in Ariquemes, Rondônia.
