The Brazilian parliament - led by President Jair Bolsonaro, who openly opposes landless workers - is considering two bills this year that would further erode their rights and embolden land grabbers who would prefer to leave nothing behind for rural workers like Araújo. Once the government can document that the land isn't serving its societal function, it can buy the land and include it in its program to provide land to rural farmers without any. "Landless workers" can refer to a number of situations: workers farming with little to no pay who long for their own land, farmers who own a bit of land but not enough to sustain their families, and individuals who camp along roads, demanding land and work.
