The currency of payment
Or, conversely, given his experience as a politician, did Fernando Henrique seize control of the family-owned press narrative and begin to value respect for the popular vote according to his personal interests?
When The Intercept exposed the inner workings of the most famous media/judicial/political operation of our era, the fondness of the then-judge in charge of this apparatus for a former president from the PSDB party came to light...
The then presiding judge of the apparatus to hunt down professional status A politician from the Workers' Party, and especially President Lula, maintained a dialogue with the neo-Pentecostal prosecutor (the one Caetano Veloso hosted for dinner in Rio de Janeiro) who served as his errand boy, advocating for sparing the former PSDB president from the reach/scandal of the Lava Jato investigation. The judge/politician justified this by stating that it would not be prudent to clash with someone who could be important to the media/political agenda of Lava Jato – what a shame; here, judges not only take sides, but act in favor of the interests of those around them...
Unfortunately, all of that is now history. Thus, with the coup (the lawfare that prevented Lula from running in the last presidential election) that brought the messiah of the neo-Pentecostals to the Presidency now complete, this 247 reports the (opposing) position of the PSDB member regarding the initiation of impeachment proceedings against the current president of the republic, in favor of... respect for the popular voteWith this stance, Fernando Henrique Cardoso is paying his debt to Sérgio Moro.
Indeed, the fact that he is a sociologist and that he supported the initial coup that robbed Dilma of her popular mandate (an occasion in which he did not...) respected the popular voteThis only serves to highlight its place in history, well below the line of political criticism, among the assailants of democracy – or, without euphemisms: thieves of popular vote...It is necessary to respect history; knowing it remains the best way to respect it. In this context, when President Lula's diligent defense began its fight against lawfare, many politicians, lacking sufficient moral energy to respect history, seized upon the narrative that Brazilian family businesses (Mesquita + Frias + Marinho + Civita) were crafting in favor of the unscrupulous economic interests of the Brazilian elite...
The narrative created by the mainstream media to demonize the Workers' Party, aiming to target Lula and, through the political actions of the judiciary, remove him from the electoral race, marks the... venial sin that gave birth to fake news. The water flowing through this historical period is so clear that one cannot help but see the sands of time, even as they decompose against the wall of memory, flowing into the clay of forgetfulness... Forgetting remains the most powerful weapon of cowardly politicians who have seized control of narratives of their own interest...
Our obligation to history remains to tell it as it unfolded, not as narrated by the Brazilian corporate/family media (Mesquita + Frias + Marinho + Civita). Thus, we others ask: What reason justifies, in such a short time (2016 to 2020), a former president of the republic and the greatest leader of the PSDB party changing his own opinion regarding respect for... popular voteHas your concept of changed? popular vote Or the scope of their perception of the meaning of the verb "to respect"? The popular vote remains what it has always been. Since the return to democracy.
So, has your perception of the meaning of respect changed? According to the most basic source of information, respect is a verb that reaches the condition of... The act of respecting, considering, revering, showing deference to...
So, did Fernando Henrique begin to consider and revere the will of the people from 2016 onwards? Is that the interpretation? He didn't respect it in 2016, and he does now?
Or, conversely, given his experience as a politician, did Fernando Henrique seize control of the family-owned press narrative and begin to value respect for the popular vote according to his personal interests?
It is shameful to conclude, given the two variables proposed to justify Fernando Henrique's paradigm shift, that we have reached a significant conclusion.
Out of respect for the legacy of the impeccably reputable anthropologist who gave birth to values and concepts that culminated in the Workers' Party's Bolsa Família program (which has Lula as its sole father), it is easier for us to believe that Fernando Henrique paid his debt to Moro, without delving into the meaning of his 'support' for the messiah's mandate, justified by respect for the will of the people...
Furthermore, it would be a disservice to civilization to oppose the ideal of respect in favor of the interests of a leader who (in the midst of a pandemic not seen with such intensity since 1918) prioritizes defying the guidelines of the WHO and every scientist and infectious disease specialist worthy of the Hippocratic Oath...
This misery does not constitute the civilized ideal worthy of Fernando Henrique's history, even if this legacy diminishes with each passing day. Sad tropics, even more so after the death of Morais Moreira.
