"Brazil is facing one of its most difficult moments," says philosopher.

Philosopher and professor at Unicamp, Roberto Romano, believes that Michel Temer is cornered; "A president has to demonstrate and exercise his authority, which is not happening today. Michel Temer is a lame duck, he has no commanding voice, he suffers opposition from the left and does not have the support of all sectors of the right," condemns Romano;

247 - Roberto Romano, a PhD in philosophy and professor of ethics at Unicamp (State University of Campinas), highlighted in a UOL report the fragile moment that Brazil is facing. "There are multiple attempts to explain what is happening today. The most solid explanation is that we are reaching the peak of a crisis of state and society in which there are no longer conditions for command and obedience," he states. 

The philosopher states that, "a president has to demonstrate and exercise his authority, which is not happening today. Michel Temer is a lame duck, he has no commanding voice," condemns Romano. 

Romano compares Michel Temer's situation to that faced by President Dilma. "At the time of the impeachment, the former president had a strong group of supporters from the PT (Workers' Party) and the left. Today the situation is much worse, because the president of the Republic faces opposition from the left and does not have the effective support of the right," he assesses.
