(en) Brazil, Occupation Contestado born in San Jose! (pt)

Wood by wood, canvas by canvas, community residents are Jos? Nitro over the last few days, 
building their homes and their history in a space that is the germ of Occupation 
Contestado, consolidated in the early hours of Wednesday (7). ---- The name honors the 
occupation of one hundred years of Constestado War, a conflict that occurred in the state 
of Santa Catarina in the early 20th century and that, as in our struggle, questioned the 
ownership of land and was a manifestation of popular discontent in the face of social 
problems. ---- The action is retaliation in the coming hours and days and the Military 
Police of Santa Catarina have stayed in place: before 4am this morning, the police came to 
intimidate the occupants, but it was not enough to quit.

These workers of the city of San Jose, coming from so many places in Brazil, are starring 
in a historical act before the disorganization of the homeless capital of Santa Catarina 
in the past 20 years. Act that legitimizes the first step taken last Saturday, meeting 
with the Movement for Reconstruction Homeless in Florian?polis on Saturday (3).

All these actions were unintentionally stimulated by a character who has no interest in 
popular sovereignty and the quality of life of his people, the current mayor of San Jose, 
Djalma Berger, supported by his brother and current mayor of Florian?polis, Dario Berger.

It's been almost a month and the only hope of punishing Djalma is in action Electoral 
prosecutors. In summary, the MP filed a judicial investigation against electoral Djalma 
Vando Berger for electoral crime. He is accused of abuse of political power and illegal 
capture of suffrage on account of the promises made to the community settlement of Nitro 
Jose in San Jose, on the eve of the elections, in early October.

Given the immobility and slowness in helping to solve a problem that the mayor himself has 
created, the people decided to act and has the support of all who believe can be a new 
city model, fairer with his people.

Now it becomes even more important solidarity with those families who are rebuilding their 
lives. So please organize solidarity campaigns and collaborate with existing campaigns.

Contested lives! Free homeland, win!
