- Indigenous organizations led by Apib threaten legal action over any procedural shortcut and urge leaders to withdraw the item from today’s agenda.
- Backers including author Sen. Dr. Hiran argue the change provides legal certainty and enables development in Roraima, while the Supreme Court is slated to review challenges to the 2023 law this week.
