The indigenous people demand from Lula more speed for the demarcation of their lands
Thousands of indigenous people marched through Brasilia to the seat of the Government, where President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva received a delegation that demanded greater speed in the regularization of the lands they have occupied for centuries.
Those and other demands were turned into a document delivered by about forty leaders of the indigenous peoples, who were received by Lula and the Minister of Indigenous Peoples, Sônia Guajajara, along with other members of the cabinet in the Presidential Palace of Planalto.
“I have a moral duty and a lifelong commitment to do everything possible, and even the impossible, to minimize the suffering of indigenous peoples and guarantee their rights,” Lula said on his social networks after the meeting.
The text also asks the Government for “greater political commitment” in the face of the conservative majority of Parliament. He accuses of promoting an “agenda” contrary to the indigenous people and the protection of the Amazon and other biomes inhabited by the indigenous peoples.
The Articulation of Indigenous Peoples (Apib) calculated that in the march, which took place peacefully, about 9,000 indigenous people who left the Free Land Camp participated. About two kilometers from the presidential palace and that brings together representatives of about two hundred ethnic groups this week.
While the meeting with Lula lasted, the demonstrators remained at the doors of the government headquarters in the midst of indigenous rituals. In a festive but also combative climate, in defense of their territories.
The main object of protests was a thesis known as a “time frame,” approved last year by the conservative majority of Parliament. It only recognizes as indigenous territories those that the original peoples effectively occupied on October 5, 1988, when the current Brazilian Constitution was promulgated.
The approval was after the Supreme Court had declared that thesis unconstitutional, which has generated a conflict, yet unresolved, in the face of which the court has urged a “conciliation”, to which the indigenous people oppose.
The camp, the largest annual event of the indigenous peoples, has been held since 2004 and this time has as its motto the phrase “Our framework is ancestral. We were always here,” alluding to the thesis defended by conservatism and the agricultural sector.
According to official data, indigenous people occupy about 14% of the national territory. It is represented by about 600 already delimited areas, to which can be added another 120 that are still being analyzed.
The demarcation of indigenous lands, an obligation of the State under the Constitution, was suspended between 2019 and 2022, during the administration of the then far-right president Jair Bolsonaro, and was resumed last year by Lula’s government.
However, of the fourteen territories ready for demarcation, the Government has so far regularized ten and the other four are pending negotiation. They are currently occupied by landowners who, in the past, expelled the indigenous people.
Lula pointed out in his message in X that it was not “easy to rebuild indigenous politics” after Bolsonaro’s mandate. He was “satisfied with what has been done so far” and guaranteed that his Government will work “even harder” for the indigenous peoples.

Colombian coffee production hits 14.8 million bags, best in over three decades
Colombia closed the 2024/25 coffee season with a production of 14.8 million 60-kilogram bags, marking a 17% increase compared to the previous cycle and the highest output in 33 years, the National Federation of Coffee Growers (FNC) announced on Tuesday.
According to FNC data, Colombia produced 14,869,000 bags between September 2024 and August 2025, up from 12.7 million bags in the previous harvest.
FNC manager Germán Bahamón highlighted that this performance “reaffirms the reliability of Colombian coffee origin in the global market” and reflects “the disciplined work of producers, the impact of responsible crop renewal, professional technical assistance, and the favorable weather conditions that supported the production process.”
Looking ahead to the 2025/26 cycle, the FNC warned of a possible drop in output due to the physiological response of coffee plants and the heavy rains expected in the coming semester.
“Each season brings new challenges and opportunities. We will work with determination to ensure that farmer profitability remains the foundation of sustainability and the future of the entire coffee chain,” Bahamón wrote on X.

Authorities investigate triple homicide of young women in southern Buenos Aires
The bodies of three women, two aged 20 and one 15, were found on the outskirts of Buenos Aires in a case authorities are investigating as a revenge killing linked to drug trafficking, the provincial Security Minister reported on Wednesday.
“Apparently, they were going to attend an event they had been invited to, unaware that it was a trap organized by a transnational drug trafficking group planning to kill them,” said Javier Alonso, Buenos Aires provincial Security Minister, during a press conference.
So far, four people have been arrested for aggravated homicide, including the owner of the house where the bodies were discovered, though Alonso suggested that more individuals may be involved.
Investigators determined that the victims voluntarily got into a vehicle on Friday night and were taken to a house in Florencio Varela, on the southern outskirts of Buenos Aires. The vehicle was later found burned near the property where the bodies were discovered in the garden.
While the exact motive is still under investigation, the minister explained that the women had previously encountered members of the criminal organization, and an incident involving them led to this act of revenge. Alonso estimated that the killings occurred the same night the women disappeared, and phone tracking helped reconstruct their movements.
On Tuesday, a small group of people, including neighbors of the victims, gathered at the roundabout where the women were last seen in southern Buenos Aires
