Unemployment is part of Temer's plan.
Political scientist Luis Felipe Miguel points out that the unemployment rate in January reached a historic record, according to IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics); "It's at 12,6%, and those most affected are women, the black population, and young people," he emphasizes; "Congratulations to the Temer government for yet another achievement. No, I'm not being ironic. The increase in unemployment compresses wages downwards and reduces the working class's capacity for resistance. With the 'primacy of negotiated agreements over legislation,' then, it will be wonderful for the destruction of rights," he states; "Isn't that the government's project? Then, congratulations, it's working."

Congratulations to the Temer government for yet another achievement. No, I'm not being ironic. The rise in unemployment pushes wages down and reduces the working class's capacity for resistance. With the "primacy of negotiated agreements over legislation," then, it will be a marvel for the destruction of rights.
Isn't that the government's plan? Then congratulations, it's working.
