classified report by the Council of Public Attorneys of Rio Grande do Sul asking the state to ban the MST by declaring it an illegal organization. The report declared further investigation pointless, "as it was public knowledge that the movement and its leadership were guilty of engaging in organized criminality". The report also proposed that where MST activists could "cause electoral disequilibrium", the activists' right to vote be withdrawn by striking them from the voter registry. Declarations issued at the same time by the State Association of Military Policy Commissioned Officers, in an open Red Scare vein, declared the MST "an organized movement striving at instituting a totalitarian state in our country". Between September 27 and October 7, 2009, the MST occupied an orange plantation in Borebi, State of São Paulo, owned by orange juice multinational Cutrale.

The Cutrale plantation, Fazenda S.

In a radio interview during the campaign she repeated the old conservative hope that economic growth could make Brazilian land issues recede: "What we are doing is doing away with the real basis for the instabilities of the landless.
