Eldorado de Carajás: contradictory statements
This article says "These people were part of a demonstration calling for the federal DISAPPROPRIATION of an UNPRODUCTIVE ranch where the MST had mounted a camp called "Macaxeira" with almost 3000 families."

The article titled "Eldorado do Carajás massacre" says "These people were part of a demonstration calling for the federal APPROPRIATION of a PRIVATE ranch where the MST had mounted a camp called "Macaxeira" with almost 3000 families.

Can't we avoid bureaucratese and just say "they were squatting in a private property"? Also, if the ranch was "unproductive", what did these 3,000 families live on? Or had it been abandoned or neglected by the owners? Please note that I am NOT taking sides. I just prefer facts to gobbledygook.
