Medida provisória recompensa atividades criminosas
Summary
The report argues that MP 910/2019 incentivizes illegal land grabbing and deforestation by expanding the spatial and temporal scope of land regularization and simplifying the process through self-declaration. It contends that these changes benefit large landowners over family farmers and indigenous peoples, while creating a misalignment between land and environmental policies.
Key insights
- MP 910/2019 expands the spatial scope of Law 11.952/2009, moving it from only the Legal Amazon to include federal lands or Incra lands across the entire national territory.
- The provisional measure extends the temporal threshold for land regularization to occupations occurring before May 5, 2014, as a general rule, and specifically for the Legal Amazon to those before December 10, 2018.
- The simplified regularization process via self-declaration is expanded from four to 15 fiscal modules, allowing land to be regularized without prior on-site inspection by Incra.
- The document asserts that MP 910/2019 legitimizes criminal activities such as land grabbing (grilagem) and illegal deforestation by granting amnesty to recent illegal occupations.
- The proposed changes create a misalignment between land and environmental policies by decoupling the land regularization date (May 5, 2014) from the Forest Code's environmental regularization date (July 22, 2008).
- The measure disproportionately benefits medium and large rural producers while creating higher bureaucratic hurdles for indigenous peoples, traditional communities, and family farmers.
- The report identifies future risks including the potential for the Forest Code to be weakened to match the new land regularization dates and the possibility that states will revise their own land laws based on the federal precedent.
