LANDLESS RURAL WORKERS camped out in Itaguajé in northern Parana, a soil rich southern state bordering Sao Paulo. Nelson Cruz (center) said a
local politician told him and roughly 30 families to camp out along the road, in an effort to push the government of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to seat more families on expropriated farm land under Brazil's land reform policies.
Most members of the movement have never managed a farm and only have experience as temporary harvesters.
