Sartori, the professor who is causing grief to teachers in Rio Grande do Sul.

It's a huge contradiction what's happening in Rio Grande do Sul, but quite typical of governments geared towards elites who want to destroy the state. Sartori, the governor of Rio Grande do Sul, is a professor and philosopher. He used to be in the classroom. Sartori, a professor, has been destroying education in Rio Grande do Sul and causing suffering to teachers and all state public servants for more than 30 months, since he took office.

Sartori is the professor who pays educators' salaries in installments and delays their payments, making the situation of education workers even more miserable, closing schools, merging classes, and making decisions that have created one of the worst crises in Rio Grande do Sul's education system in history. This seems to be one of the prerogatives of the MDB governments, as Temer is dismantling the educational advances implemented with great struggle during the Lula and Dilma governments at the national level.

The misgovernment of Sartori places the entire burden of a crisis that Rio Grande do Sul has faced for a long time on the shoulders of the working class of Rio Grande do Sul. But we will never accept that trying to resolve the crisis means bleeding the people of Rio Grande do Sul dry and selling off state assets, as Sartori, the worst governor in the history of Rio Grande do Sul, has been doing. Sartori doesn't even deserve to be treated as a professor.

This state has already experienced situations that have shown it is possible to develop socioeconomically through democratic, participatory, and constructive policies that respect the rights of the working people. We experienced this during the Olívio Dutra administration, which never delayed or paid salaries in installments. As Secretary of Education in the Olívio administration, we valued education workers like never before in this state.

But Sartori, instead of learning from Olívio how to govern Rio Grande do Sul, prefers to make the people of Rio Grande do Sul suffer, because neglecting proper remuneration for work is to take away people's dignity and deny their status as citizens. And we can no longer accept that.
