The Ministry of Mines and Energy elaborated a National Plan of the Mining, which lists goals to increase five times the mining activity in the country and the elaboration of the New Code of Mining. The Plan treats the mineral extraction and processing as a mere activity to be regulated for the companies benefit, disregarding the impacts and easing the mining activity in areas with legal restriction. As consequences occurs the destruction of the environment and the way of life of the communities that occupies the territories targeted by the mining, for instance, the indigenous people. We question how the Brazilian Estate observes its democratic principles in the neoliberal context. At least, we will treat the question of the mining in indigenous lands, using the article 231 of the Federal Constitution and the OIT 169 Convention.
