(en) Brazil, CAB: FULL SUPPORT FOR THE INDIGENOUS OCCUPATION AGAINST THE PRIVATIZATION OF THE TAPAJÓS RIVER IN SANTARÉM, PARÁ (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Since January 22nd, the indigenous peoples of the Lower Tapajós region
have been occupying the area in front of the Cargill grain port
headquarters on the Santarém waterfront. The occupation is part of
mobilizations by various indigenous and non-indigenous organizations
demanding the revocation of Presidential Decree 12.600/2025, part of the
National Privatization Program that grants the Tapajós waterway for
private use. ---- In December 2025, the Federal Government launched a
tender allocating 74 million reais for dredging works on approximately
250km of the Tapajós River, in the stretch between Itaituba and
Santarém. The objective is to increase the navigability of the river for
large vessels, most of which belong to private logistics companies that
provide services to mining and agribusiness (meat-grain chain),
including Cargill.
The indigenous peoples of the Lower Tapajós, through the Tapajós
Arapiuns Indigenous Council (CITA), denounce the lack of free, prior and
informed consultation regarding these works, as stipulated by Convention
169 of the International Labour Organization (ILO), to which Brazil is a
signatory. Impacts are also predicted on the alteration of waterways,
erosion of riverbanks, contamination of river biota and, notably, on the
way of life of the traditional peoples and communities, guardians of
biodiversity along the Tapajós.
During COP30 in Belém, last November, the Federal Government,
represented by Minister Guilherme Boulos (PSOL) of the General
Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, promised the leaders of
the Lower Tapajós that no work would be carried out without
consultation. Another maneuver by the State to try and curb the direct
action of the indigenous struggle.
Direct actions and the fight for autonomy and territorial
self-determination of indigenous peoples are inspirations for us,
anarchists. We understand that the State is a colonial institution by
nature, and that the original peoples and their ancestral territories
maintain modes of social and political organization that go against the
centralization of state and corporate power, building popular power from
below and from diverse points.
