CIMI releases data on indigenous murders in 2023. The tragedy continues, despite the change of government. We must prohibit mining in indigenous areas and the export of timber, gold and diamonds and penalize transnational companies that purchase them.

[João Pedro Stedile @stedile_mst]

O CIMI divulga dados de assassinatos de indígenas em 2023. A tragédia continua, apesar da mudança de governo. Temos que proibir mineração em áreas indígenas e a exportação de madeira, ouro e diamantes e penalizar empresas transnacionais compradoras.

France is not at war with Russia. The Olympic committee is pacifist and says it does not mix politics and sports. But France banned journalists of Russian nationality from covering the Olympics. There is hypocrisy among those who talk about freedom of expression

[João Pedro Stedile @stedile_mst]

A França não está em guerra contra a Rússia. O comitê olímpico é pacifista e diz não misturar politica e esportes. Mas a França proibiu jornalistas de nacionalidade russa a cobrir as Olimpíadas. Haja hipocrisia daqueles que falam em liberdade de expressão
