BrasíliaNone of Brazil’s 54 newly elected senators identifies as Indigenous.
Five parties tied to anti-Indigenous bills will hold 53 Senate seats from 2027, the Indigenous Missionary Council says.
Alone, the five parties can pass constitutional amendments touching Indigenous rights, council executive secretary Luís Ventura says.
Ventura predicts the new Senate bloc will block demarcations, impose the Marco Temporal and open territories to outsiders.
