Michel Gherman: "Denialism produces a political agenda and mobilization, it produces death."
On TV 247, a professor from UFRJ (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) states that "it is clear that denialism also exists on the left," but it "always favors the far right."
247 - Denialism is driving a political agenda, mobilization, and deaths in Brazil today. This statement comes from Michel Gherman, professor and coordinator of the Interdisciplinary Center for Jewish Studies at UFRJ, who participated in a debate on antisemitism on TV 247, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
"It's clear that denialism also exists on the left," but the practice "always favors the far right," he pointed out.
According to the professor, the agenda of denialism is extremely dangerous. "It produces the idea that there are owners of history, that they can change history. It produces the idea that there are people who have to disappear, the notion that there are groups that degenerate."
According to Gherman, in addition to being dangerous, denialist ideas are ultimately always conservative and favor the far right.
