The fire in Amazonia was a political crime by Bolsonaro: if it should accelerate
Dichiarazione Del Gruppo Di Lavoro Di Ecologia Politica Di Clacso (Italian)
The recent images that are circulating in the world of fires in Amazonia, in the Pantanal, in the Cerrado and in the Chaco, such as the new smoke in the city of Sao Paolo, do not coincide with the climate, but the result of the advances of neo-strativism and deforestation intensified by politics criminali of the Bolsonaro government. This government, if there is an appearance of legality to establish a criminal policy against the basics of human rights and control of nature. The gigantic confine of the fire that is destroying the Amazon costs one of the capitols that are aberrant to their political criminies and deserves the urgent and active ripudio of all the political communities.
During your campaign From the scorso anno (from August to October), Bolsonaro has supported the military, the great owners of the land, the lacrimation of the legname, the illegal minators and all those who have no interest in the saccheggio of the natural risorse; with its appoggio, and environmental crimini, violence against the capi and the cape of the contadini movements, the indigenous people and the environmentalists are rampant and unimpunified.
The first action given when the potere has been imprisoned is in the state directly from the country or directly to the first, the environmental regulations and the diritti of the indigenous populations (MP 870/2019). In addition to an explicitly razzist narrative, dai suoi live, His Facebook has incentivized and delinquent with promises to legalize the mining sector and the soia's land within the indigenous territories. The minister of the Bolsonaro government systematically persecuted officials and ispettors and contemporaneously eliminated funds for the operations atte all'applicazione della legge, for example togliendo l'appoggio alla the Federal Police for Environmental Protection (Ibama).
The images of fires in the Brazilian Amazon that were outraged (or were outraged) all in the world, were the results of these politics. L'Istituto Nazionale di Investigazione Spaziale (INPE, che Bolsonaro has attacked with accusation di fakenews, censorship and political intervention) has registered more than 73 thousand fires in this period of the year; an 83% increase over the last year, with a 278% increase in deforestation in the last month, including a 30% reduction in fines from the environmental inspection agency (Ibama). strativist, with l'agri-food industry, with long-scale mining settore, with deforestation, with speculative accaparramento della terra. With this fire, the destruction of the environment and biodiversity, the contamination of water, air and soil also advances; gli assassinii, the torture and the persecution of the indigenous people and the traditional communities (riverside, peasant, quilombolas), and the death of the masses of the local fauna. With fire, if rinnova also the minaccia di sterminio di questi popoli/culture, così come also di altrespecie.
The fire that we report and ripudiam does not occur only in Brazil; They were also originated in Bolivia and Paraguay by motorist states and by their attori: the security and political responsibility of this crime are also attributable to the government of this country, and, in general, to all and government that, independently of the ideological orientation, have not supported the voracità strativist in corso.
Infatti, the systematic plan of distruzione dell'Amazonia is not è initiated with Bolsonaro né è ristretto to his government. Tuttavia, upon arrival at the potere, if there is a perverse turn of acceleration, intensification and impunity. This convoluted advance of neo-strativism, jungle deforestation, and uncontrolled fires in an arid environment, according to the current trend of capitalism and its tendency towards ecocide. The distruzione and gli effetti provocati of this politiche raggiungono not only the Amazon basin, but also important South American regions quali the Pantanal, the Cerrado and the Chaco. The intensification of a model of accumulation based on systematic depredation of the natural resources of this territory, the catapult in a situation of extreme gravity, not only in Amazonia and for its indigenous populations, not only in South America, benefits all the populations that live in our country. Pianeta Terra e gives that trovano support.
The Amazon fire is a further chapter, and one of the first, of the process of devastation that the “modern economy” has given us and our eyes. In the name of the “sviluppo” and of the “civilizzazione” we are observing one of these last moments of human barbarism. We felt and told – for noi stessi, not for “l'ambiente” – that we cannot rest immobili di fronte a que this macabre spettacolo di morte su long scala. Given the critical academic world and the impegnato nel sociale e nell'environmentalismo, we launch an urgent appeal for active retaliation against this government and against the sue politiche criminali sull'Amazzonia. We launch an appeal of solidarity to multiplie and coordinate the actions in the affected Amazon and its people, guardians of the forest and water, at the end of the day and condone the crimes against Natura and against Umanità perpetrati by the Bolsonaro government.
