President Jair Bolsonaro announced Saturday (9), through a social network, the appointment of Army General Jesus Corrêa to the presidency of the National Institute of Colonization and agrarian reform (Incra).
Incra is responsible for the implementation of agrarian reform and national land tenure. Since the beginning of the Bolsonaro administration, the INCRA has been subordinated to the Ministry of Agriculture. Until then, the institute was part of the structure of the civilian house.
At the beginning of the year, Bolsonaro transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture the responsibility of identifying, delimiting and demarcating indigenous lands and quilombolas.
Until then, the mission on Native lands belonged to the National Indian Foundation (Funai), linked to the Ministry of Justice; and on the quilombolas, with Incra.
At the beginning of the year, INCRA entered into controversy after the publication of memoranda ordering the suspension of all agrarian reform processes in the country.
After publication of the memoranda, they were finally revoked by order of President Jair Bolsonaro. The head of INCRA at the time said that the documents had been published without the consent of the president of INCRA.
