the federal deputy Hoffmann’s blues (PT-PR) used its social networks this Thursday, the 25th, to position itself against the downsizing of the Ministries of the Environment, commanded by Marina Silva (Rede), and the Indigenous Peoples, led by Sonia Guajajara, in action promoted by the Provisional Measure (MP) of the Ministries. In the publication made on Twitter, the parliamentarian – also president of the Workers’ Party (PT) – considered that the opinion approved last Wednesday, 25th, in a joint congressional committee is a “retrogression” and that the federal government will work to reverse the changes written by the rapporteur and federal deputy Isnaldo Bulhões (MDB-AL), with the possibility that the Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) is activated. “If necessary, we go to the STF to recover the structure of the Environment and Indigenous Peoples. And Lula will veto the flexibility of the Atlantic Forest. […] Society needs to help us face the right in parliament,” he said. The speech takes place after the arm wrestling between the ministers who seek oil exploration at the mouth of the Amazon River and the response given by the Legislature to withdraw competences from the environmental portfolios and transfer the bodies to ministers commanded by centrist parties. The Bulhões report foresees the removal of the National Foundation for Indigenous Peoples (Funai) from the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples, in addition to the transfer of the National Water and Sanitation Agency (ANA) – currently in the Environment portfolio – to the Ministry of Integration and of Regional Development. Even under the command of Waldez Góes, from the PDT, the politician was an indication of the senator Davi Alcolumbre (AP), from União Brasil, Planalto’s ally in the Senate.

Regarding the delay that occurred yesterday in Congress, we are going to work to reverse it. If necessary, we will go to the STF to recover the structure of the environment and indigenous peoples. And Lula will veto the easing of protection for the Atlantic Forest. About the timeframe PL490, let’s do…
