[P2P-F] an important message of our brazilian friends on the background to the olympics

[Sérgio Storch]

Dear Frederic, I´m so glad to read this.

I suggest to whoever is there in Montreal that you unite to send to us in
some time of the schedule  a few guidelines in social economy for the
democratic parties who will be competing in the Oct 3 municipal elections.

If you tell us ahead of time about a time in which this can be done, it can
be seen by many Brazilians, and it may have effect inn empowering people
for resistance against the destruction that comes along with the coup.

> Dear Friends,

> In the next weeks, Rio de Janeiro will get a lot of attention and you’ll
> be thinking about us. Because of the Olympic Games, of course. We had a
> coup over here in Brazil. Not everything is lost as yet, but the future
> looks grim. We produced a little leaflet for the tourists and I share it
> with you. So that when you watch TV, read the newspapers, you think about
> us, just for a moment. We need your attention and your support.

> Dear tourist,

> Welcome to Brazil! We are happy you are here and hope you will enjoy the
> Olympic Games™©®. We wish we could have received you in better
> circumstances, though. As you probably know, we had a coup d’État over
> here. It’s not a classic military coup, like in the 60’s, but the result is
> the same. Democracy is under siege and during your stay you will see the
> military forces everywhere. To guarantee your security, but also to repress
> any legitimate opposition to the illegitimate government. You will quickly
> notice that Brazil is a racially diverse country. The majority of the
> population is black. Our government, however, is all-white, all-male, and
> all-corrupt. Seven ministers are tainted by corruption scandals. Two
> already had to resign. Even Michel Temer, the interim president, has been
> condemned by the Electoral Tribunal of São Paulo for financial
> irregularities. You know, he can no longer run for elections! The president
> elect, Dilma Roussef, has been ousted. Everything indicates that her
> impeachment had only one function: blocking justice and saving the
> legislators from prison. The current government is imposing a
> conservative-liberal policy of authority and austerity. Shamelessly, it is
> defending the interests of the banks, privatizing the economy, repressing
> minorities, exterminating indigenous populations and otherwise doing
> everything it can to turn back the clock and abolish the social rights of
> the majority of the population. And, finally, while you’re here, why not
> learn some Portuguese? Start with “Fora Temer!” (Temer out!), and join the
> non-violent protests all over the city. Enjoy your stay!
