I want to congratulate the work of Deputy Marussa and say that it is essential to have, at minimum, the right to a defense — before taking a measure as onerous as those, unfortunately, being taken today — to guarantee a minimum of legal certainty and justice in relation to the rural producer. So, congratulations, Deputy Marussa!
