The Heloise effect and the emptying of the left.

I've written this a few times before, and I'll say it again: we are slaves to our spoken words and masters of our unspoken words. This phrase is directly related to the political style of councilwoman Heloísa Helena (PSOL), a candidate for the Senate.

We've become accustomed to seeing her with her finger pointed, accusatory, aggressive, as if she's always ready to jump down the throat of her opponent. Lately, however, we see HH in the City Council without criticism of the PSDB government in the Maceió City Hall and the state government.

It may just be a coincidence. However, in recent days he has received declarations of support from the sugar mill owners of the PSDB party. First, Governor Vilela through his candidate Júlio Cezar. Then, federal deputy Alexandre Toledo and Lucila Toledo, wife of the president of the Assembly, Fernando Toledo.

However, what about the ideological question? What about the support from representatives of a sector that is criticized for being an example of worker exploitation? Because of this, the PSTU has already withdrawn its support for the Senate candidacy and published a letter explaining its reasons. For the PSTU, HH embraces reactionary sectors in the name of a particular project.

Heloísa's PSOL party was created from dissenting members of the PT (Workers' Party) who considered the PT's policies conservative, right-wing, and prone to opportunistic and corrupt alliances. This was the reason for the split and the creation of the party in 2004.

PSTU, on the other hand, is a socialist organization that claims to be a revolutionary Marxist organization, basing itself on the theories and practices of Lenin, Trotsky, and Nahuel Moreno. It supports struggles against the bourgeoisie and the government, strikes for wages and better living conditions, land and public building occupations, and agrarian reform.

Apparently, HH disappointed the left. Often, the pursuit of power changes a person's "compass." Some believe that there are no great talents without great weaknesses.
