The candidate plans to remove 'environmental hurdles' to allow rural landowners unrestricted land use. Tânia Maria de Souza, president of Ascema, noted this is a 'déjà vu' scenario, citing the Bolsonaro administration's history of deforestation, violence against Indigenous groups, and mining violations. Flávio finished first in the opening round of the election. The article was originally published on Mongabay.
