Brasilia, Jul 21 (Prensa Latina) The Articulation of the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB) described as ‘humiliating’ the treatment received by a government chamber, a kind of crisis cabinet, to debate the fight being waged against the Covid-19 among the natives.
The APIB communicated to the Federal Supreme Court (STF) that it endured during that degrading talk absurd words and threatening speeches.
The cabinet was created after the decision of the STF minister, Luis Roberto Barroso, to protect the health of indigenous peoples and prevent the spread of Covid-19.
‘The experience was disastrous, humiliating and shameful, a situation that no citizen deserves to go through, especially before the authorities of the Brazilian government,’ denounced the entity.
Journalistic media assure that, in the case of the aborigines, the meeting apparently had the objective of attacking them and trying to intimidate them, with a discriminatory speech and incitement to hatred against their peoples.
For the APIB, the speech of the Minister of the Institutional Security Office, Augusto Heleno, during the meeting can be classified as ‘highly conflictive’. During the exchange, he made it clear that the Government of Jair Bolsonaro will only attend hear out indigenous people in the demarcated lands and that the rest will be treated as ‘rural producers’.
The indigenous representation denounces in the same way that Santos da Silva used a threatening and vexatious tone, in addition to calling them ‘cynical’, ‘frivolous’ and ‘cowardly
