PT leaders say no to "Bolsonaro out" and outsource the PT's greatest historical task to the Centrão (center-right bloc).

The PT's leadership has aged, according to Jilmar Tatto, the PT's Secretary of Communication and pre-candidate for mayor of São Paulo, in an article published in Folha de São Paulo this Good Friday morning. He stated that "the PT has decided that it is not the time to join the 'Out with Bolsonaro' movement," because "the party's focus remains on the coronavirus pandemic, advocating for isolation and demanding that the federal government act to protect the most vulnerable." 

The PT's leaders have aged just as the Party is celebrating only 40 years of history, because they publicly demonstrate that they have not understood the deadly extent for workers worldwide, whether in precarious employment or not, of the greatest global crisis since the "great war of the 20th century," which is the coronavirus pandemic. And if they did understand it, what is worse: they will be complicit in it in Brazil.

The PT (Workers' Party) leadership aged on the same day that the People Without Fear and Popular Brazil Fronts began calling for the removal of President Jair Messias Bolsonaro, because they understood that there is no way to confront the coronavirus without defeating Bolsonaro. That is to say: social movements, unions, and organizations disagree with and disavow the leaders of the Workers' Party, the largest left-wing party in Latin America, because its leaders see contradiction where there is none.

The PT (Workers' Party) leaders have aged poorly when they claim that the Party "feels like to support demonstrations from the popular field, stands in solidarity, understands why people are banging pots and pans," but, however, nevertheless, yet and notwithstanding, they delegitimize the strength of this growing, spontaneous movement and its disruptive nature by stating that "the people are not in the streets because they can't be. Congress isn't meeting"—despite this same Congress having approved universal basic income for the most vulnerable in the Brazilian population. 

The PT (Workers' Party) leaders have aged by failing to recognize the political role of social media worldwide and by claiming that there are no grounds for impeachment at this time: "a crime of responsibility characterized by jurists, popular will and mobilization...", feigning ignorance, due to political fatigue, of a complaint against Bolsonaro at the International Criminal Court in The Hague (Netherlands) for crimes against humanity, especially for calling for the Brazilian population to die when leaving social isolation and returning to work. 

The PT (Workers' Party) leaders have aged by publicly announcing their resignation from politics and their refusal to build a majority in the National Congress at a time when 17% of Jair Messias Bolsonaro's voters regret their vote because thousands of people will die due to a lack of public policies to contain the coronavirus pandemic – a "populicide," in the terms of the Libération editorial used to describe the genocidal and suicidal state of Jair Messias Bolsonaro, and these PT leaders will be historical accomplices from today onwards. 

The PT (Workers' Party) leaders have aged poorly by stating that they will demand that the government implement the proposals from Congress, disregarding the fact that Bolsonaro has publicly criticized his own health minister for his orthodox denialism, which puts thousands of people at risk of death. To try to avoid this unparalleled tragedy, Bolsonaro needed to be restrained by the establishment of an "operational presidency" which, in the end, is the military tutelage commanded by General Braga Netto – whom the PT leaders used as an excuse to support the impeachment and who are now silent about him.

The PT's leaders have aged, are tired, and are historically out of step with the current situation and with the PT's own Honorary President, who, on April 1st of this year, stated to the same newspaper: "Either this citizen (Jair Messias Bolsonaro) resigns or he will be impeached based on the crimes of responsibility he has already committed." Lula knows better than most that the decision not to join the "Out with Bolsonaro" movement is the outsourcing of the political exercise of opposition to the so-called centrão – as has been happening in the so-called "revolt of the governors," including the government of the state of Bahia, which has been at the forefront of this movement. 

The PT's leaders have aged, they are tired, and they are in political quarantine, while the majority of the PT's militants have been building a majority to approve Universal Basic Income during social isolation and the impeachment of the genocidal president. Because popular sovereignty, even against the wishes of the party's tired leaders, is the only vaccine to combat the virus and the vermin. May we have the necessary strength for the greatest struggle of our lives.
