Of the 14 territories promised by the federal government to be demarcated in its first year, only eight have been done.

In 2023, Lula was invited to Terra Livre Camp and attended. During the event, he announced the first demarcations of his new government and raised a flag against the temporal landmark. In 2022, as a presidential candidate, he also participated in the camp.
