Congressman allied with mining companies and illegal gold miners launch a Parliamentary Front for Sustainable Mining

Congressman allied to mining companies and agribusiness have launched the Parliamentary Front for Sustainable Mining, which aims to expand mining in Brazil. The new front is linked to Bolsonaro supporters, illegal gold diggers defenders and extreme right-wing parties, and has received incentives from companies linked to the mining sector and the Brazilian Mining Institute. Federal Representative Zé Silva (Solidarity-MG) chairs the front, which has two vice-presidents: Senator Zequinha Marinho (PL-PA) and representative José Rocha (Union Brazil-Bahia).
