The regional coordination of the Movement of Landless Workers (MST), said in remembrance of Roseli Nunes¹, some 1,200 landless women, occupied on the morning of Monday (February 28), a farm in Eunápolis, a distance about 08 KM from the city center.

This occupation is part of the calendar to commemorate the International Women's Day (March 8) that will be remembered throughout Brazil by the MST.

Farmers call for the immediate expropriation of the old power plant Ariadnópolis, who has for years blocked the process in INCRA and the

judiciary.

About 600 landless peasants occupied, on Monday (February 21), the headquarters of Ariadnópolis plant, in southern Minas Gerais.

We live in a dominant economic system that for centuries has engaged in the unlimited exploitation of all ecosystems and their natural resources.
