In a lightning vote, the House accelerates a bill that suspends environmental embargoes on small farmers.

The Chamber of Deputies approved by a wide margin a proposal that suspends environmental sanctions against small rural producers for two years. The measure, introduced by Congressman Lucio Mosquini (MDB-RO), allows these producers up to 24 months to regularize their activities before facing penalties. This bypasses the usual legislative process, skipping the Constitutional and Justice Committee. Environmentalists argue that the extended deadline undermines environmental protection, weakens enforcement mechanisms like IBAMA, and could enable illegal practices such as wildlife trafficking. Critics, including the Climate Observatory, warn that the rushed approval compromises legislative quality and risks regression in environmental safeguards.
