What Gold Miners In A Bar Boasted They’d Done To A Never Before Contacted Amazonian Tribe, Is Truly Disturbing
7. Suspension of Temer’s Decree
The decree by Temer has now been suspended by federal judge Rolando Valcir Spanholo, who ruled that Temer had gone beyond his presidential authority in causing the dissolution of Renca. Approving an injunction to halt the abolition, the federal judge ruled that only Brazil’s congress had the power to rescind Renca’s protected status, making the presidential decree temporarily ineffective and the scarcely remaining protections are still in place.
“The suspension of president Temer’s unilateral decree with its severe threats to vast Amazonian forest offers a welcome and temporary reprieve,” said program director Christian Poirier from the non-profit, Amazon Watch. The land and the people that inhabit it are in extreme danger if the decision were to ever change.
