Religious accompany Brazil's Indigenous people as Supreme Court considers case
An estimated 6,000 Indigenous people, supported by Catholic church leaders, camped in Brasilia to urge Brazil's Supreme Court to reject the 'time-frame thesis,' which could strip Indigenous land rights. The thesis claims Indigenous people are not entitled to land they did not occupy when the 1988 Constitution was enacted. The court's decision, which could affect over 300 land demarcation processes, was delayed, prompting Indigenous groups to leave but vow to return. Supreme Court Justice Edson Fachin opposed the thesis, affirming Indigenous territorial rights. The case highlights tensions between Indigenous rights and agricultural interests.

PEC da Vida will include exceptions to abortion punishment in the Penal Code
The PEC 29/2015, known as the 'PEC da Vida,' has been reintroduced in the Brazilian Senate, aiming to include the phrase 'from conception' in the constitutional protection of life. The proposal seeks to prevent the Supreme Federal Court (STF) from adding new exceptions to abortion prohibitions. The PT (Workers' Party) opposes the PEC and aims to delay its progress, while supporters argue it is urgent to protect the right to life. The PEC must pass through various legislative stages before becoming law, facing significant political and judicial challenges.

In Brazil, an abortion debate pits feminists against the church
In Brazil, the restrictive abortion laws disproportionately affect Black and marginalized women, as highlighted by the ordeal of Mariana Leal de Souza, who faced life-threatening complications from an illegal abortion. Despite the emergence of a strong feminist movement and legal initiatives to decriminalize abortion, there is significant opposition from the growing evangelical movement. The Supreme Court of Brazil is the final decision-maker on abortion laws, with recent sessions indicating a split in opinions among the justices. The debate continues to be influenced by political and religious factors, with the potential to shift public perception and policy.

Sieged by mining and megaprojects, the Munduruku push for land rights in the Amazon
The Munduruku people of the Sawré Muybu Indigenous Territory in Brazil's Pará state are fighting for official land rights amidst threats from illegal loggers, miners, and infrastructure megaprojects. Despite years of self-demarcation efforts, the Brazilian government has not granted official protection. The new administration under President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has restarted Indigenous land demarcations, raising hopes among the Munduruku. Indigenous leader Alessandra Korap Munduruku, a Goldman Environmental Prize winner, has been instrumental in resisting mining companies like Anglo American. The territory is still under analysis by the Ministry of Justice, with federal prosecutors recommending the demarcation process proceed. The region is of sacred importance to the Munduruku, and the lack of official demarcation has led to significant environmental and cultural threats, including illegal mining and deforestation. The planned Ferrogrão railway and other infrastructure projects pose additional risks. High levels of mercury contamination from illegal gold mining have been found in residents, highlighting the urgent need for the demarcation and protection of Sawré Muybu.

Meanwhile, left-wing politicians are migrating to Bluesky. The ban has sparked a debate on free speech and the potential dangers of political polarization on social media platforms. VPNs remain a tool for circumventing the ban, though their effectiveness is debated.

Conservative congress threatens Brazil’s same-sex marriage wins
Brazil's same-sex marriage rights, established by a Supreme Court ruling in 2011 and reinforced by a 2013 National Council of Justice resolution, face threats from a conservative Congress. Activists like Grazielle Tagliamento and organizations such as All Out express concerns over potential legislative reversals. All Out's #SayYes campaign seeks to pressure Congress to pass Bill n. 580/2007, which would legally recognize same-sex unions. Despite gathering significant international support, the bill's progress is hindered by conservative political forces. The Family Commission's recent rejection of marriage equality highlights ongoing challenges, with activists urging public pressure to influence future legislative outcomes.

Army Colonel Suspected of Involvement in Drafting Coup Document Seeks New Testimony at Federal Police
Lieutenant Colonel Ronald Ferreira de Araújo Júnior, suspected of assisting in the drafting of a coup document during the final days of Jair Bolsonaro's presidency, has requested a new deposition at the Federal Police after remaining silent during his initial summons. The request, confirmed by UOL and first reported by O Globo, was submitted to the Supreme Federal Court. The Federal Police, who have already had the opportunity to hear Araújo Júnior and other suspects who chose silence, are evaluating the necessity of this new testimony. Araújo Júnior is under investigation for attempting to abolish the democratic state of law, based on an inquiry initiated by revelations from Bolsonaro's former aide-de-camp, Mauro Cid. Araújo Júnior's defense claims he has no involvement in any wrongdoing against individuals or the democratic state.

Brazil’s right-wing movement persists without Bolsonaro
Despite Jair Bolsonaro's absence, Brazil's right-wing movement continues, driven by supporters who believe in its principles of patriotism and family values. Bolsonaro's influence remains through the mobilization of his image rather than his direct actions. The movement's radicalism intensified after Bolsonaro's electoral defeat, with calls for military intervention. Bolsonaro has been largely silent post-election and his future in Brazilian politics is uncertain due to potential legal challenges. Academics and political scientists suggest that while 'Bolsonarismo' may fade as a term, the movement will persist, dispersed among various actors. Comparisons are drawn with the U.S. Capitol riots, highlighting the unique nature of these events and their uncertain impact on the future of populist politics.

Government accumulates attempts at creative accounting to improve accounts and spend more
The current administration under Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has engaged in various creative accounting practices to manage fiscal constraints and increase spending. These practices, reminiscent of previous administrations, include limiting budget contingencies, excluding certain expenses from primary deficit calculations, and reclassifying debt payments. The Supreme Federal Court recently allowed the government to pay delayed debts without reclassifying them, while legislative actions have both supported and opposed these fiscal maneuvers. Critics argue that these practices undermine fiscal responsibility and transparency.
