Planalto will appeal to Italy to avoid the attacks of bishops

As part of the strategy to combat the so-called "progressive clergy", Plbadto Palace will resort to a diplomatic relationship with Italy, which has enjoyed a good time since the efforts of President Jair Bolsonaro to obtain the arrest of Cesare. Battisti. The Bolsonaro auxiliary team will try to persuade the Italian government to intervene with the Holy See to avoid direct attacks against the environmental and social policy of the Brazilian government at the Synod on the Amazon, which will be Promoted by Pope Francisco in Rome in October [19659002] Opinion

The O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper revealed on Sunday that the Plbadto wanted to contain what he saw as a breakthrough of the Catholic Church in the direction of the opposition to the government as a consequence of the loss of protagonism of the left-wing parties. During the 23 days of the Synod, discussions will focus on topics such as the situation of indigenous peoples and quilombolas and climate change – considered as "left-wing agendas" by Plbadto. The government wants to have a representative at the preparatory meetings of the Rome meeting.

The diplomatic action of Plbadto will have several fronts. In one of them, the Brazilian government wants to solicit the representatives of Italy and the Vatican in Brazil – Antonio Bernardini and d. Giovanni D 'Aniello, respectively – to ask them for help to publicize Brazilian works in the social, environmental and indigenous areas. This would serve as a counterpoint to the attacks that the government is certain to undergo at the Synod because of the influence of the left parties in these sectors.

The ambbadadors of Brazil in Italy and the Vatican will also have the mission to put pressure on the leaders of the Church to minimize their effects.

In another diplomatic action, Brazil decided to hold its own symposium in Rome and in September, one month before the event organized by the Vatican. On the agenda, several panels will present various projects developed in the country to show the international community "the concern and attention of Brazil to the Amazon".

The event was already marked, but the government wants to take advantage of the meeting to highlight the sustainable agriculture project evoked by the Indians during this event.

More than 2,000 indigenous people (data from the last IBGE census) took turns to plant cereals such as soybeans, corn, cbadava, pumpkin, potatoes, sweet potatoes and beans. The new leadership of FUNAI wants to encourage similar projects in areas where Indians have an interest in planting their land.

The presentation of legal timber extraction projects, as well as the appeal launched to foreign companies for them to buy only certified material another idea to disseminate the work done in Brazil. With this, the government hopes to open another counterpoint of what it considers to be an attempt at outside interference in the Amazon and an attack on government policies.

For the President of the Council of Native Missionaries (CIMI), d. Roque Paloschi, archbishop of Porto Velho (RO), this concern of the government is useless. "The Synod does not intend to set a standard for the government, but rather to find ways to help us live solidarity and fraternity with the people of the Amazon. for thousands of years, "he said.
