Flávio Bolsonaro, the PL candidate for the Presidency of Brazil, expressed his intention to implement a land regularization program in Pará during an event in Marabá on Monday (19). The senator stated that he aims to eliminate what he referred to as "environmental barriers for ideological reasons," ensuring greater autonomy for rural producers over their lands.

According to Bolsonaro, the land regularization will be the largest seen in the state. He emphasized that once elected, producers will be able to "do whatever they want" on their properties, seeking to untangle the rules that, according to him, restrict productive activity in the region.

On the same day, the candidate also pledged to assist in combating wildfires in the Amazon during an event in Manaus. Bolsonaro promised that starting in January next year, he will work to support the state in this challenge.

These statements were made amid his electoral campaign, where he seeks clarifications on his proposals and the PL's vision regarding environmental policies in Brazil. The candidate stressed the need for a balance between economic development and environmental protection but did not specify concrete measures.

Additionally, Bolsonaro's presence in Marabá was marked by his popularity in the city, where he previously received 54% of the votes in the first round of past elections, reinforcing his local support.

Bolsonaro's approach to environmental issues has sparked various debates about the future of the Amazon and the use of its natural resources, while he attempts to position himself as a mediator between economic interests and preservation.
