A judge in Várzea Grande, Mato Grosso, suspended an eviction order affecting approximately 700 families in the Princesinha do Sol neighborhood. The ruling recharacterized the dispute over 28.88 hectares of land as a collective urban land conflict, prioritizing constitutional housing rights.

The case has been referred to the Commission for Land Solutions of the Court of Justice of Mato Grosso for mediation. The local municipality has joined the proceedings, citing potential conflicts with existing land-regularization programs.
