00:00Welcome back. This year, Brazil's Landless Rural Workers Movement, or MST, is working to expand its role in electoral politics
00:08by fielding candidates for state and national assemblies in the October 4th elections. Our correspondent Premier has more.
00:46We've launched candidates in the state and federal elections of comrades from agrarian reform villages and camps and activists from
00:53our movement.
00:55We can't let the guns, beef, and agribusiness caucuses make decisions about our lives and our future, because politics decides
01:04everything – agrarian reform, health, education, housing, and the right to dignified employment for everyone.
01:11During the municipal elections of 2024, the MST elected 133 mayors, vice-mayors, and city councilors nationwide for the Workers'
01:20Party, revealing it as an emerging force in electoral politics.
01:24With strategies designed collectively in hundreds of local and regional democratic assemblies, one of the goals of holding office for
01:31the MST is to use the issue of food security to strengthen relationships between the rural and urban working class.
01:38The Lama's Rural Workers Movement, the MST, is a social movement that fights for the right to land, but also
01:45that fights for a political project that will transform our country, Brazil.
01:50Today we are living in a polarized nation. The growth of right-wing extremism has caused the social movements to
01:57work to occupy space in parliament.
02:00With Silicon Valley tech fascists Javier Mele and the Trump administration doing everything they can to strengthen anti-democratic right
02:08-wing extremists this year,
02:10the MST's participation in the elections is more important than ever.
