00:03   Today, Nov 22, 2022,
00:06   I am in Brasília. I am Cacique Raimundo, Guajajara ethnicity, from Maranhão.
00:12   We have just filed a document with the Ministry of Justice
00:18   requesting an urgent answer from the United Nations,
00:24   because the votes for Bolsonaro from the majority of First Nations
00:29   didn’t appear in the ballot boxes.
00:33   So we request the immediate presence of the UN about this issue.
00:40   UN: where are our rights guaranteed by convention 169 of the ILO?
00:46   [ILO = International Labor Organization]
00:50   That’s why I am here sending this video to the UN
00:54   and their representatives.
00:57   Come and give an answer to the majority of the indigenous peoples of Brazil
01:02   and to the Brazilian society that needs an answer
01:06   Moments ago, the president of PL [Liberal Party] just filed a document
01:12   about fraud in the 2022 elections.
01:19   and we indigenous people were harmed.
01:22   Most indigenous people were harmed.
01:25   That is why I ask, as supreme president of the majority of indigenous chiefs in Brazil,
01:31   I ask the urgent presence, intervention, of the UN,
01:39   for our indigenous peoples as well for our country Brazil.
01:45   That is my message. I am asking for help now due to the situation in Brazil.
01:53   We are very sad right now.
01:58   We need the presence of the UN.

  1. Oh the irony of appealing to Fraud Central Oversight. At least their appeal is on record even if it may be the 3rd world equivalent of “if Stalin only knew.”

  2. “I ask the urgent presence, intervention, of the UN”

    — They want more UN intervention? The election fraud wasn’t enough?
