A-Infos (en) CAB's opinion on the current Brazilian situation

The political and social situation of the country is far from finding a peaceful way, 
without major fluctuations. The outcome of the coup among the powerful that ousted 
President Dilma Rousseff, marking the possible end of the cycle called 
"neo-developmentalist", led in recent decades by PT. The crisis and political instability 
on the top floor, next to the power struggles and the interests of national and 
international capital governments have created an extremely timely p ara a political, 
legal and media blow on the PT by the Brazilian elite faithful doormat of the 
international market interests. There were several factors that are inter-related in this 
process, we can mention as very important: media campaigns, the acordões between political 
subtitles, handling legal cases (personalized in the figure of Moro, transformed by the 
elite in "anti-hero") the rise of a strong anti-PT sentiment, inflated not only the right 
but also by both disappointed with the government's lack of progress EN social rights, as 
also the attacks and withdrawals of other rights. The lurches to the right of PT, as well 
as the able leadership of the great fox PMDB, Eduardo Cunha, were also determining factors 
in this outcome. Analis air these issues, their conspiracies and power architectures is 
critical to understand the moment we are going through.

The PT government project faced in the last period not only a serious political 
instability in the balance of power within the parliamentary and legal institutions of the 
country, but had to prove by force the poison himself who helped produce with its 
alliances. The PT, which left no longer has anything thrown into the mass grave of the 
order parties, guarantor of large groups, the profit of the big landowners, contractors 
and bankers, tent or but not satiated greed of groups that even "belly full "do not want 
to lose any penny in this recession. They want the people to pay the bill and move on to 
further lacerate the few social gains, increasing the exploitation of the poor and the gap 
of social inequality.

The PT sought its governance operating a policy of alliances that will attract and divided 
oligarchic sectors of the right. So, it was pushed to the mass grave of collusion, 
lobbying, bribes, slush, among many public funds deviations and private business 
favoritism schemes. In society, pitched a social pact policy that did arrive governance 
mechanisms on both ends of the class structure. Made growth policy in the financial system 
gains and the big capital and, next to it, met with social programs the poor who were 
underserved p public olicies. But left intact the structures of concentration of wealth 
and power, and has for much of the budgets for payment of public debt. That is, the 
so-called "progress" had a high price for the country, where the powerful of the belly was 
even more full.

The result of engineering power assembled by PT within the developmental logic, was a 
parliamentary coup that created the opportunities that the PT has the opportunist right.

Remember, so do not overlook that the setting (we call blow to rights) began to be 
implemented even within the PT government. It was strongly advocated by the president on 
his defense in the Senate and Lula. In a speech held on October 29, 2015, Lula said that 
the party's priority was to "create political conditions that are approved the measures of 
fiscal adjustment forwarded by Dilma Rousseff." And when the model of the social pact is 
immured by the recession and the high cost of living, they are the cuts of pol & i acute; 
public tics that the government uses as single output, with the excuse of improving the 
economy. The first acts of the Executive attack the rights of the working class to the 
taste of employers. Two of them are emblematic. A relief program to industrial, with 
salary reduction, not to be facing layoffs to the crisis, a legal precedent included in 
Provisional Measure 680 which creates the PPE and more flexible labor rights. And the 
change of insurance rules, which virtually condemns the working youth to access their 
rights when hit by unemployment.

The adjustment in the national budget took public schools to the brutal dismantling of 
education, which was answered by occupations in São Paulo, Goiania, Rio de Janeiro, Ceara, 
Rio Grande do Sul and Mato Grosso. Public health faces with panic dengue epidemics, and 
zikavírus chikungunha transmitted by the mosquito which breeds in poor areas sanitation. 
But the banks do not stop to celebrate your winnings. Half of the national budget is 
charged by loan sharks public debt. Let's see how they walk the employer, controllers and 
mining company Samarco shareholders criminals who destroyed the city of Mariana in 2015 
ends, the Doce River to the sea coast, with its flood of toxic waste over everything.

Agribusiness and mining imposed and imposes its deadly model to indigenous peoples, 
quilombolas, riparian and other poor people in the field.

In the field, the government Dilma became less that Lula and Cardoso government. The 
government FHC became 287,994 families in the first term and 252,710 in the second term, 
totaling 540,704 families settled. The Lula government settled 381,419 families in the 
first term and 232,669 in the second term, totaling 614. 088 families settled. The 
Government Rousseff became the first term only 107,354 families. In addition, the 
government Dilma was the government allocated less land for agrarian reform, "were 2.9 
million hectares of land in four years. Before, the worst mark was the second gove rnment 
FHC (8.6 million hectares). "(INCRA data)

The government Dilma structured some existing settlements, but not settled families still 
need land. Thus, land reform almost stopped, she walked very little. The various cuts in 
the INCRA budget paralyzed some activities in the field.

With regard to indigenous lands, the government Dilma figure as the worst in the 
Demarcation of Indigenous Lands since 1985. Only 10 TIs declared in the first term and 3 
in the second. View: 
http://pib.socioambiental.org/pt/c/0/1/2/demarcacoes-nos-ultimos-governos .

In addition, an extreme improvement over the Amazon. The government Dilma elected as model 
of development in the agribusiness field, represented symbolically by the Rural Minister, 
Katia Abreu (PMDB). He made agreements with the caucus in Congress, so that the government 
sacrificed the settlements of landless families, the demarcation of indigenous lands and 
settlement areas of quilombo communities. In the Lula government there was an opening for 
the production of pesticides, and so, Brazil has become the country that eat poisoned 
food, where consumption per person is 7.3 liters per year.

The federal failure in the case Guarani-Kaiowá well demonstrated who the government PT / 
PMDB wanted to meet. The preference for landowners made several Indians were killed at the 
behest of the farmers in the area of the Kaiowá. Indians, fishermen / farmers and the / 
the western Amazon and the area is in the vicinity of Belo Monte were also forgotten while 
megaprojects facing hidrobusiness received large investments from the federal government.

In the slums, Dilma reinforced and approved in collusion with the PMDB, the oppressive and 
racist project of the UPP's, whose developments reinforce the genocide of black people. It 
went further and signed in 2014, the authorization of the occupation of the favela Maré 
(RJ) by the army.

With regard to issues of gender and sexual diversity, remain a common agenda of 
conservatism. The last government vetoed the distribution of "anti-homophobia kit" in 
schools, pointing to assume the Statute of the Unborn and refused, even with so much 
appeal, to issue interim measure providing for a stipend to families of children with 
microcephaly (we know that those who suffer most in these families is the mother). In this 
matter also, a deafening silence about permission for abortions, where the federal 
government est & AACU you; fulfilling the unfortunate role of criminalizing and "isolate" 
the mothers with zika.

Therefore, the government PT / PMDB was not a government that ensured rights and much less 
Temer guarantee something. The petismo and his government cut stratospheric funds for 
education, health and culture. It changed the rules of PIS, created and signed the damn 
Antiterror Law, helped in shaping the MP of the process of obstructions and sent on 22 
March the Complementary Law Project - PLC 257/2016 (government project sent to the House 
of Representatives ) attacking public servants across the country. Only about his 
departure from the government, Dilma r esolveu symbolically invite some social movements 
to some government defense ceremonies in the central highlands, trying to keep a dialogue 
around the defense of "democracy" with some movements. But truth be told, the PT 
government never ruled with any movement.

At the extreme pressure that has received capital from the imperialist government of the 
PT opened auction exploration fields, yielding increasingly to the easing advancing the 
privatization of public oil reserves of the pre-salt layer. Finally, the financial system 
managed to impose, with the final approval of the Presidency, this Anti-Terrorism Act that 
a precedent to launch on the social protest, which escapes from his control, a tourniquet 
criminal-repressive legislation.

The third shift, as rightly spoken there, had its outcome in a mega political-legal farce 
called impeachment. We know that this kind of revanchist stance in Brazilian politics is 
nothing new because the historical constitution of the country have gone through different 
strokes of different shades and shapes to name them. The question was always hope for the 
best time to do it. Sure enough, with the help of PT, the blow was struck and threatens 
even more exfoliate with full force the few rights of the poor s country.

In this scenario of representative politics, opportunism rule, already commonplace within 
the guild policies, is giving more "to cloth sleeve." When it comes to rule, the PT is its 
alliances by pure chance, too, regardless of whether these "allies" is the acronym that 
stuck in political grave or not. Therefore, the calculation is to be government at any 
cost, just following the natural logic of bourgeois democracy. An example is that in 
municipalities where the PT maintains coligaç & atild and, with the PMDB there is no 
embarrassment.

In all this, our anarchist opinion or demarcate positioning without any illusion in state 
conspiracies, opinion which seeks to position from the foundation to give combat violent 
withdrawal rights and the brutal adjustment that is applied. The output is not right there 
on the corner, you need to know to position a set of forces to make popular resistance 
adjustment and repression.

The state is not "neutral apparatus." No change fund comes from within the system machine. 
The bourgeois liberal democracy was made by PT popular-democratic project and its 
satellites the privileged channel to digest the social and political struggles. And with 
it came inside, ideological production embodied in the practices and rules of the 
institutional game: collaboration with the oppressors of the people repudiated, business 
with multinationals, financial, industrial sectors, agribusiness, corruption, bureaucracy 
and cooptation of social movements, disqualification popular participation that is not 
related to their devices, legalization and criminalization of independent protest.

Moved the state apparatus, the PT tables bring to the movements the illusion that the blow 
operated by reactionary sectors have no relation with the misshapen practices that PT 
curled. Prepare well, the 2018 elections and a new social pact with the bourgeoisie (now 
in opposition) you want to use the movements and trade unions, again as a ladder to a 
flawed political design.

It is time to reaffirm the class independence of the workers against the economic 
adjustment; it is time to oppose the corrupt system of representation of bourgeois 
politics, with direct democracy and grassroots people's organizations; it's time to 
generalize the struggle in the streets, strikes and occupations outside the bureaucratic 
controls and electoral calculations.

Our militant position puts power in the basic work in forging solidarity organizational 
spaces and direct action, with autonomy, with libertarian federalism struggles and joints, 
rebuilding class independence perspective within the movements, communities and trade 
unions. It is true that the path to these tasks is long, but it is also true that 
socialism and freedom we defend not come, nor ever will come from within the state.

Against the electoral farce and cutting rights. Only the popular struggle decide!

Against blow to rights! Fight and Win Outside Urns!

OUR REBELLION NOT ACCEPT SET!
