# Ibama licences the Belo Monte dam in Lula’s second term

Date: 2010

## The fact

In February 2010 Ibama issued a preliminary licence for the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam on the Xingu, a second-term industrial project later built under Dilma. Indigenous and riverine objections sat.

## Context

Eletrobras and Norte Energia sat. Neighbouring PAC is the parent investment brand. He did not pour the concrete.

PAC 2007 is neighbouring. Racial statute 2010 is a different rights file the same year.

The President of Brazil heads the federal executive, sanctions statutes, and commands the armed forces as a political principal. He does not write STF judgments, INPE satellite pixels, a US tariff proclamation, or a Venezuelan CNE tally. Congress, governors, Petrobras, and coalition partners share specific files.

## Evidence and sources

Ibama carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is deforestation pressure and minority rights: a completed mega-dam licence on the Xingu is a dated displacement-and-forest instrument.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 2010 Ibama preliminary licence for Belo Monte during his presidency, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later displacement coefficient from that February as a personal tally, or that Dilma’s later construction was this hour alone.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Ibama signed. Dilma later built. Riverine communities objected.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Ibama licences the Belo Monte dam in Lula’s second term, not a later speech about Ibama licences the Belo Monte dam in Lula’s second term.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Ibama licences the Belo Monte dam in Lula’s second term on 2010-02-01 is not a licence to treat every later Ibama communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Ibama licences the Belo Monte dam in Lula’s second term into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to His government licensed. Ibama signed. Dilma later built. Riverine communities objected. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
