Se impone el agrobusiness en Brasil y aplasta la agricultura familiar, con el apoyo del gobierno

April 3, 2013

A los gobiernos posteriores a la redemocratización les quedó la importante tarea de promover el uso social de la tierra y propiedades urbanas y se supone que Lula era el más calificado para cumplir con esta demanda, dado su origen y cercanía al MST. Empero, el número de expropiaciones en sus dos mandatos fue bastante inferior al su antecesor, el social-demócrata Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Lula expropió tan sólo mil 990 propiedades, ante 3 mil 532 durante el gobierno de Cardoso.

The Imposition of Brazilian Agribusiness and the Supression of Family Farming, With Government Support

April 3, 2013

The previous governments during the period of redemocratization were left with the important task of promoting the social uses of rural land and urban property and it was assumed that Lula was the most qualified to meet this demand, given his proximity to the MST. However, the number of expropriations in his two terms was significantly lower than his predecessor, the Social Democrat Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Lula expropriated only 1,990 properties compared to the 3,532 under President Cardoso.
