路透里約熱內盧9月23日 - 官方數據顯示，巴西下月舉行大選，將近200名原住民候選人參選公職，創下紀錄。他們在日益保守、農企業利益具有重大影響力的政治環境中，以環境保護作為競選訴求。RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Almost 200 Indigenous candidates, a record, are running for public office in Brazil's general elections next month, official data showed, campaigning on environmental protection in an increasingly conservative political landscape where agribusiness interests wield significant influence.
「我們原住民女性需要有發聲的機會，也需要進入決策場域。為了我們的領土、為了大地之母、也為了環境，我們必須身在那些決策場域，這是我們抗爭的一部分，」特雷莎・阿拉皮姆說。她正角逐里約熱內盧州議會席次，並以真正的樹葉作為競選傳單。"We Indigenous women need to have a voice, and we need to occupy decision-making spaces. We have to be in those decision-making spaces as part of our struggle for our territories, for Mother Earth, and for the environment," said Tereza Arapium, who is running for a seat in the state congress in Rio de Janeiro, using actual leaves as campaign leaflets.
這項紀錄出現之際，原住民團體正敦促政府加快正式承認其領土的速度；這種地位可讓這些土地獲得法律保護，以防遭到入侵。同時，他們也試圖在立法機關中捍衛自身利益，抵禦農企業以及能源與基礎建設計畫的影響。The record comes as Indigenous groups push the government for faster official recognition of their territories, a status that grants these lands legal protection against invasions, while seeking to shield their interests in legislative houses from agribusiness, as well as energy and infrastructure projects.
原住民傘狀組織 APIB 蒐集的資料顯示，巴西選務機關已登記191名原住民候選人，這是自2014年開始公布候選人族裔資料以來的最高數字，但在向選務機關登記的近2萬1000名候選人中仍只占極小比例。Brazil's electoral authorities have registered 191 Indigenous candidates, the highest number since ethnicity data on candidates started being published in 2014, data gathered by Indigenous umbrella group APIB showed, but still a tiny fraction of the almost 21,000 candidates registered with electoral authorities.
APIB 已公開支持左派總統魯拉（Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva）連任。民調顯示，魯拉與主要反對派候選人佛拉維歐・波索納洛（Flavio Bolsonaro）不分上下；佛拉維歐是極右翼煽動型政治人物、前總統雅伊爾・波索納洛（Jair Bolsonaro）之子。APIB has publicly supported the reelection of leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who opinion polls show is neck and neck with the main opposition candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of far-right firebrand and former President Jair Bolsonaro.
APIB 歡迎魯拉設立原住民事務部，並恢復對原住民土地的正式承認，但批評相關承認程序進展緩慢，也批評政府推動在亞馬遜河河口附近進行石油鑽探。The group welcomed Lula's creation of a Ministry of Indigenous Affairs and the resumption of official recognitions of Indigenous lands, but criticized the pace of such recognitions and the government's push for oil drilling near the mouth of the Amazon River.
魯拉宣稱，鑽探將以盡可能安全的方式進行。Lula has claimed the drilling would be done in the safest way possible.
