‘This is a lethal threat’: Indigenous groups fear Bolsonaro’s hold on voters in Brazil’s Amazon towns
Indigenous communities in Brazil’s Amazon towns say far‑right presidential hopeful Jair Bolsonaro’s influence is a deadly threat. They fear his mining‑friendly agenda will erode their lands and cultures. While some locals welcome mining for economic revival, many worry the candidate’s support among voters could undermine their rights and environment. They demand a halt to mining permits and seek international support.
