MST land invasions by the end of Lula’s term
💡 What the odds say
Most likely: More than 180 at about a 57% chance — more likely than not.
The field is highly concentrated on two outcomes—'More than 180' and 'Between 140 and 180'—together capturing 99% of probability, but the open question is whether MST's international rhetoric (Venezuela solidarity, Oct 2025) or domestic violence (deadly attack, Jan 2025) will push the count past 180 or keep it under that threshold.
What's driving it
- • MST's leader in Venezuela explicitly raised the possibility of a U.S. land invasion in December 2025, which likely boosted the 'More than 180' outcome by framing MST as a geopolitical actor facing external threat (Brasil de Fato, Dec 2025).
- • The January 2025 deadly attack on an MST settlement in São Paulo, killing two and injuring six, underscores escalating land conflicts that could drive more invasions as retaliation or self-defense (mst.org.br, Jan 2025).
- • No clear catalyst recently explains the 42% for 'Between 140 and 180', but the lack of a major spike in reported invasions since mid-2025 may cap the high end.
Why the front-runners lead
- • The 'More than 180' front-runner benefits from MST's explicit internationalization of the land-invasion narrative, linking domestic actions to a potential U.S. invasion of Venezuela, which could mobilize more members and justify larger-scale occupations.
- • The 'Between 140 and 180' outcome is supported by a steady baseline of land conflicts, as evidenced by the deadly attack and ongoing land-grabbing reports (Global Witness, Sep 2025), without a clear trigger for an extreme surge.
Why it's still open
- • The field is not truly open because the top two outcomes dominate 99% of probability, but the 'More than 100, less than 140' and 'Less than 60' outcomes could gain if Lula's government cracks down on MST or if international pressure reduces invasions, though no headline supports such a shift.
- • To overtake the front-runners, a candidate like 'Between 60 and 100' would need a major de-escalation—such as a government land-reform deal or a drop in violence—but recent headlines show the opposite trend.
What to watch
- • Lula's remaining term (ends Jan 2027) provides a hard deadline; any major government action on land reform or MST repression in the next six months would likely shift odds toward lower invasion counts.
- • A U.S. military intervention in Venezuela, as hinted by MST's leader, could trigger a surge in MST invasions as solidarity actions, pushing the 'More than 180' outcome higher (Brasil de Fato, Dec 2025).
- • The next annual MST national congress (typically mid-year, no specific date in headlines) could announce a target number of occupations, directly moving the market toward that specific bin.

Will over 100,000 people be conceived with the help of advanced embryo selection techniques by 2030?
The market sees advanced embryo selection as still niche and ethically fraught, but recent coverage of genetic optimization startups and IVF's expanding role in family planning suggests the technology is gaining momentum, making the 100,000-conception threshold plausible if regulatory and adoption barriers fall.
