The call, an event that would gather farmers and politicians in Marabá (PA) a month before the official in, was canceled last Friday (6) by the Association of Independent Rural Producers of the Amazon (Apria).
The governors (MG) and (GO) had already been confirmed, as well as senators and federal deputies linked to the Parliamentary Front of Agriculture (FPA), such as Pedro Lupion (PP-PR), Silvia Waïpi (-AP) and Wellington Fagundes (PL-MT).
The association says it expected about 5,000 people and also personally delivered invitations to Jair and.
Organizers cite as reasons for the “political persecution” cancellation of the Para Government of Helder Barbalho (MDB) and “rural producers’ disunity” – according to them, the category is afraid to publicly manifest and expose themselves.
Apria’s secretary general, Ana Flávia Fagundes de Melo, says that the association called on May 27 to the Carajás Convention Center, where the event would take place on October 3 and 4, but received the news that the space contract would be terminated.
“They said they had received a government notification [estadual] That in October and November, the place could only be available for official COP events, “she told the column.” But our meeting was going to be 570 km from Belém, “he added.
Sought, the Government of Pará replied that “the social organization Pará 2000, which manages the Carajás Convention Center, informs that the place has a reserved agenda for official COP30 events in the period and the contract had to be canceled.”
Pará 2000 is a non -profit private association that operates in the management of tourist equipment of the state. “The same happens in the Hangar and the Dock Station, spaces also managed by Pará 2000. The advance was returned with the predicted fine,” he said.
Apria’s secretary general states that she tried to find other dates, but “got an excuse” and there was no availability. Rural producers suggested meeting in some private place, but the association “did not feel security” and did not want to risk the event not happening, as the cost is high.
The “Agro Cop” intended to make a kind of narrative front to the conference, which in their view excludes the discussion sector and treats it as a villain, valuing more international than local initiatives. Panels on sustainable production, land regularization and legal certainty were foreseen for producers.
