in the end, it was possible to understand some strategies and counter
strategies of these social movements, especially those related to the new
mining regulatory framework, then elaborated by the Dilma Government,
and to the provisional measures of the sector recently edited by the Temer
Government. This led to the conclusion that the fronts of resistance, popular
mobilization and political articulation lend themselves to deconstructing
the “truths” disseminated by the big mining companies, showing how

compreender algumas estratégias e contraestratégias desses movimentos
sociais, principalmente aquelas relacionadas ao novo marco regulatório
da mineração, então elaborado pelo Governo Dilma, e às medidas
provisórias do setor recentemente editadas pelo Governo Temer. Com
isso, chegou-se à conclusão de que as frentes de resistência, mobilização
popular e articulação política se prestam a desconstruir as “verdades”
difundidas pelas grandes mineradoras, mostrando o quanto elas violam
direitos humanos, principalmente daqueles que se encontram numa
condição histórica e econômica de vulnerabilização.
