Later, it became a national organization and, today, in addition to fighting for the rights of those affected, it demands a Popular Energy Project to change all the unjust structures of this society from the roots.

[1] As an organization, the movement is the result of a long work of collective construction, fighting against injustices, the destruction of nature for the maintenance and protection of the way of life of the affected local communities (ethnic and social aspects).

[1] The movement was created from the mobilization of farmers against the construction of hydroelectric plants in the region of Alto Uruguai, in the Brazilian states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.

The Brazilian Communist Party played an important role in national syndicalism (1930s to 1960s), with the contents of political formation at the time referring to "official" Marxism, of Soviet origin.

Through case studies and analyzing the contextual and socio-environmental elements linked to the theme, the Special Commission (...) found a significant number of human rights violations in the process of construction/implementation of these dams.

Finally, the Commission sent a set of recommendations to the Brazilian State in order to repair and/or mitigate the impacts, in addition to pointing out the need to build specific public policies for this population.

Furthermore, it is a report published by one of Organs most representative bodies in terms of human rights in Brazil, recognizing this pattern and pointing out necessary compensation measures, which should be binding.

Until the beginning of the 1990s, the Brazilian national electricity sector was entirely owned by the State under a legal monopoly regime, with only a single state-owned company which carried out the production, transport and distribution of energy.

Brazil has the largest freshwater reserve in the world, and we still have a favorable reality, with more than 90% of households being directly connected to water supply networks, most of them (90%) managed by the state and 10% of the control belongs to the private sector.

The negative consequences result from a national policy for the planning, implementation and operation of dams for electricity generation, water supply, accumulation of industrial waste and for multiple uses.

The dams cause important social, environmental, economic and cultural impacts in a vast territory and produce hundreds of thousands of affected populations.

[5] With the worsening of the crises (economic and climatic) in recent years, the Amazon has suffered more and more, with severe damage to its biodiversity and the lives of local communities.

The current global economic model has reinforced the position of the Amazon as a source of cheap mineral and energy resources and the destruction of the forest and its transformation into a new agricultural frontier, for the export of commodities, carried out by transnational companies.

The consequences of the construction of dams appear over time: forest degradation, drastic reduction in fishing, emission of gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming, risks of earthquakes, climate change and biological death of water courses.

[5] In addition, the construction of dams is based on borrowing by local governments, causing the indebtedness of the economies of poor nations such as Brazil.
