 After 60 hours of sustained resistance from the residents of the Quilombo Campo Grande Camp in Minas Gerais, the military police violently evicted the families. The police, who had been trying to evict the residents for the past three days, on August 14th, finally resorted to shooting tear gas canisters, sound grenades, and violence to forcefully remove the residents who are part of Brazil's Landless Rural Workers Movement. Throughout the eviction process on Friday, the military police was live reporting on the eviction and using its social media platforms to slander the residents and the MST. Around 450 families had been living for the past 22 years in the area of the bankrupt sugar mill, Adriano Poulis, which closed down its activities in 1996. The Camp's educational center, Eduardo Galiano Popular School, where children, youth, and adults study, was also destroyed the day before. On Wednesday, August 12th, the first day of the eviction, the governor of Minas Gerais, Romeo Zema, had affirmed on social media that his government was calling for the postponement of the eviction. Despite this, the police forces remained at the camp. According to the MST, the state government affirmed that the suspension request was forwarded to the region where the camp is located, but the request was rejected. The official responsible for the eviction informed the MST that the action would occur as long as there was no official suspension. Quilombo Campo Grande has been occupied by the landless families for the last 22 years and has become a reference point of agroecology in Brazil. The governor of Minas Gerais, Romeo Zema, has said that the eviction is illegal and that we are going to resist, but he has said that the troops of several cities are here. He is disseminating the virus. We put our lives above anything. This governor doesn't think about life, he thinks about profit. This governor is a coward. We need to get together and press the authorities, but, mainly, this governor is allowed here, he broke our school, he broke our families, and now, here, there are more than 250 police men from several municipalities, from Belo Horizonte, from Alfenas, from Bo Esperança. We will not allow this. We are here and we need everyone, everyone and everyone, to denounce what we are living here, press the authorities. But, mainly, this governor, Govarde. The eviction of the camp will result in the destruction of the agroecological harvest. At the camp, families produce corn, organic coffee, and dozens of other foods that are distributed at the cooperatives and stores of the MST. The federal deputy, Roheri O'Corea of the Workers' Party, classified the police action in the midst of the pandemic as cowardice. The movement has denounced that the police aggression against the members of the camp is commonplace. On July 30th, for example, more than 20 police officers invaded the camp and detained the landless worker of Salso Agosto, who they released later that day. The families also said that the police agents invaded their homes, carrying rifles and pistols, and destroyed doors and windows. The MST denounced that the day before the eviction began, the police encircled the camp with patrol cars, intimidating the families. Within Minas Gerais, Brazil, and on an international level, people mobilized to denounce the actions of the state government and the military police. The eviction of 450 families and the destruction of agroecological food production in the midst of a public health emergency has been deemed by many as criminal. The MST and the families of Quilombo Campo Grande have vowed to continue their struggle to produce healthy food for the Brazilian people and in defense of their right to land. The MST denounced that the day before the eviction began, the police encircled the camp with patrol cars, intimidating the families of the people of Salso Agosto, who they released later that day.
