About This Trend
Congresso Inimigo do Povo is a social movement criticizing the Brazilian Congress for passing environmentally harmful legislation.
Why is it trending? The movement gained momentum after the approval of the PL da Devastação, a bill criticized for its environmental impact, with 267 votes in favor. Civil society groups and activists have strongly condemned the decision, highlighting its potential to undermine environmental protections. The bill's passage, spearheaded by the ruralist caucus and right-wing politicians, has sparked widespread outrage. Public reactions include protests, viral hashtags, and calls for accountability, further amplifying the movement's visibility.
