There, not only members of the Catholic Church were persecuted, but also many rural workers were arrested and tortured and / or required to be guides army in the hunt for guerrillas. In 1974, after the guerrilla annihilation, INCRA abandoned the colonization project and many families, who had come from different parts of Brazil attracted by colonization, finding no support from INCRA, came to occupy numerous properties with unproductive definitive securities or of aforamentos, starting with those who lined the highway, causing intense and protracted conflicts with farmers, owners of these lands.
