View MoreParliamentary Commission of Inquiry of the Landless Movement approves call for Zé Rainha The request requesting the presence of João Pedro Stédile also had the approval of the majority The members of the CPI of the MST approved, this Tuesday, the 20th, the summoning of José Rainha, one of the leaders of the National Fight Front (FNL). There is still no date set for his appearance on the board. Authored by Federal Deputy Alfredo Gaspar (União Brasil-AL), the request initially summoned Zé Rainha as an investigator, but was converted to the condition of a witness. Rainha is one of the founders of the MST, but due to a “split” in the movement, he later disaffiliated. In early March, the São Paulo Civil Police arrested him on suspicion of extorting landowners in the Pontal do Paranapanema region, in the west of the state. Weapons supposedly used in agrarian conflicts were also seized from Zé Rainha. About three months later, the Court of Justice of São Paulo released, on a preliminary basis, the leader of the FNL. At the MST's CPI, Zé Rainha must explain the accusations of extortion and the actions promoted by the movement, such as “Carnaval Vermelho” and “Abril Vermelho”. MST CPI also listens to Stédile Among the requests approved today are the summons of João Pedro Stédile, leader of the MST; and an invitation to the director of the Federal Highway Police, Antônio Fernando Oliveira. More than 40 documents were on the agenda. The government tried to turn Stédile's summons into an invitation, but was unsuccessful. The base also signed an agreement to remove from the agenda a call request from the Minister of Civil House, Rui Costa. The intention was to shield the government, which faces difficulties in articulating with Congress. However, the collegiate's rapporteur, Ricardo Salles (PL-SP), said that the government broke part of the agreement by obstructing the day's agenda. Thus, the parliamentarian stated that Costa's summons should be considered at the next session of the CPI, on Wednesday 21st.
