O direito constitucional à terra a partir do caso de Nina Rodrigues - Maranhão

Abstract

This paper discusses the Constitutional Law to land from the concrete case of Nina Rodrigues-MA, specifically in the Palmares Settlement. Considering the theme of Agrarian Reform a matter of great relevance for both the legal world and for the populations that have been fighting for a long time for this right established in the Federal Constitution to be effective, the present work sought to verify how the Palmares Settlement achieved the right to Access land. As well as investigating what forms of confrontation workers had to stop so that they could now Access land and conquer other rights such as education, housing, health, etc. The research analyzed which partnerships, institutions, organizations joined the workers from the 1980s onwards, so that it was possible to achieve the expropriation of land. An exploratory research is carried out, based on a bibliographic survey, books, articles, monographs, magazines, among others. Accounts of people who experienced the process of struggle for land in the Palmares settlement were also listened to. It is concluded that important rights were achieved from the struggle of the workers, however the Agrarian Reform in its fullness was not carried out, as these mostly failed to advance with regard to production, as the methods used to produce on the land they are still the same ones used in the 1980s. The CEBS, the Union, the Workers' Party and the Workers' Movement proved to be fundamental for the conquest of the land.
