INTERVIEW - Brazil landless movement to back Lula candidate

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - The world's largest land reform movement will informally support the presidential candidate of Brazil's ruling party, despite what it sees as lackluster government support of its cause.

The Landless Workers' Movement (MST), a leftist group representing about half a million peasants, sees a victory by the center-left Workers' Party's Dilma Rousseff in the Oct. 3 election as good for land reform, MST head Joao Pedro Stedile told Reuters in an interview.
