Reforma agrária de mercado: uma análise da participação dos trabalhadores e das trabalhadoras rurais no Programa Nacional de Crédito Fundiário em Touros/RN

Abstract

This project analyzes the determinants of the participation of rural workers in the National Land Credit Program without the municipality of Bulls / RN, from 2003 to 2014. Therefore, it considers as determinant the economic and political aspects of the Brazilian social formation, highlighting the insertion of the country in the capitalist system and the advance of the capital in the field. In addition, it emphasizes the refutations of the fiscal adjustment and the counterreform of the State on the land policy that has prioritized the agrarian reform of the market to the detriment of the expropriation of lands and the fight against the latifundio. Capital restructuring provoked the precariousness of working-class life, accentuating the impoverishment of rural people, evidenced by the increased concentration of land and, consequently, by land conflict. The National Land Credit Program emphasizes participation and autonomy for the choice of land without conflicts, as benefits. To get closer to this reality, the field research took place with a visit to the areas acquired by the Program in the municipality of Touros. On this occasion, a questionnaire with open and closed questions, collectively answered by the families associated with the purchase of land, was used as data collection technique. Subsequently, semi-structured interviews were conducted with union leaders from the municipality of Touros. The result of the research evidenced the political emptying of the conception of participation and autonomy adopted by the Program and lack of criticality in relation to the landed concentration by the trade union movement.
