Indigenous peoples protest against the parliamentary coup in Brazil

[OBenario]

The original owners of the land have spoken: no coup in Brazil.









Leaders and representatives of several indigenous groups came to Brasilia to protest against the parliamentary coup. Several of tehm laid on the floor in protest against police ordering them to leave the garden of the Congress.





Xakriabá
The Xakriabá people, who live in the Minas Gerais state, sent 30 members of the tribe to the Brazilian capital to show support for the defense of democracy. Their leader declared: "We are ready for war. If I die, I will reborn".







Kamuudan Wapichana

Indigenous leader Kamuudan Wapichana said that indigenous peoples fear that overthrowing of Dilma will make the dialogue between indigenous communities and the government cease. "We are fighting to be recognized by this government, and the ones blocking it are from the PMDB party. The ones who left the government coalition are the ruralists, from the agribusiness. If with this government we had few advances, with another one it will be much wose, there is no hope. Indigenous peoples are very afraid."

1. Such beautiful people, beautiful traditions, beautiful body art...

...beautiful intelligence.

Steadfast and powerful in ways that most of us do not understand and rarely connect with. Warriors for Mother Earth!

2. Those are the people we need to empower. Not gangsters such as Eduardo Cunha. n/t

3. This. nt

4. In what is normal parliamentary action a coup?

Just because you like Dilma Rousseff and wish she stayed in power?

Beyond her use of state controlled fund to help her reelection,
the way she wanted to hire Lula to shield him from graft prosecution is disgraceful.
A brazen flaunting of democratic rules on par with any made-up 'democratic coup'

NB: as much as I might like indigenous people, they are citizens like the rest.
No less, no more. Their support to Dilma is just that, the support of some citizens.

5. Not a single fact of what you've mentioned is part of the impeachment process.

It doesn't matter to me if you like Dilma or not. Impeachments must follow the Constitutional rules to be valid. Otherwise it's a coup.

Just like this one in Brazil.

[Albertoo]

8. So morality doesn't matter, you want every legal jot and thistle to be exact

I don't know if you've got your priorities right, but you sure like your Dilma.

[OBenario]

9. I like my Constitution and respect for my vote.

My Constitution says that there must be a CRIME to validate an impeachment.

You are IGNORANT about my Constitution. You are IGNORANT about everything going on in Brazil.

So you should just shut your fascist mouth, will you?

6. "Their support to Dilma is just that, the support of some citizens."

They are an oppressed minority who supports Dilma.
The same for LGBT.
The same for blacks.
The same for every minority of Brazil.
They all fear the coup and support the government.

It may not represent much for you, but progressive people will understand what I mean.

7. One man (person), one vote

Being LGBT or black or any minority doesn't grant a greater weight to the vote

[OBenario]

10. PROGRESSIVES will get my point, as I said. You won't. n/t

[Albertoo]

12. So, to you, it's not one man, one vote?

Point taken. No wonder you like Dilma so much. She too has her 'own' ideas about values.

[OBenario]

13. I'm sorry, what are you talking about?

She HAD 54 million votes.

She WON the election.

And she represents the minority that right-wingers such as yourself don't give a shit about.

[Albertoo]

15. People who are impeached won an election earlier first.

That's the point, you know?

[OBenario]

16. Then why the fuck are you talking about "one person one vote"...

... if she had the majority of votes anyway?
