So, the guy from the field will have an income It’s bigger, and it’s going to generate more jobs, so it’s a very big effort,” he continued.

“I have said personally that I no longer believe in agrarian reform as a tool for inclusion. We need to organize the existing settlements, we need to create the conditions for these settlers to become truly rural landowners and create the conditions for those who have been in the long and peaceful tenure of this property to be able to organize it and that is our goal,” he added. “.

In response to a question about the implementation of the new rural settlements of agrarian reform in the region, he replied:

In my government, that won’t happen [novos assentamentos]I have already stated this many times before, because I no longer believe in it as a tool for productive inclusion. My effort was to organize the existing settlements. We have 30-year-old settlements that haven’t had a title deed yet, and we’re working on regulating them all. We can put the infrastructure in these final settlements and I want the settlers to become rural producers and I don’t see agrarian reform as an option for productive inclusion anymore. Therefore, I have previously declared, in my government, that being here does not occur. And now, all the support for the settlements to become productive, and all the support for the present owners of peaceful property so that the people can organize their rural property.”
