Nassif advocates for unity, without necessarily prioritizing the PT (Workers' Party).
Four more years of Temer's style, deepened with Alckmin's election, will mean definitively relegating democratic forces to the ghetto, popular movements to clandestinity, and social rights to the trash, points out journalist Luis Nassif.
Excerpt from the article Lula's biggest gamble: chess, by Luis Nassif – Four more years of Temer's style, deepened with Alckmin's election, will mean definitively relegating democratic forces to the ghetto, popular movements to clandestinity, and social rights to the trash.
The dismantling of any point of resistance will continue, including the PT itself, unions, opposition governors, the independent press, independent judges, prosecutors who defend human rights, and especially a certain democratic conviction that is beginning to flourish internally within these branches of government, a result of the repeated abuses of Temer and his associates.
What's at stake is Lula's legacy, his own political future, and his role in history. If he fails in this all-or-nothing gamble, the left, center-left, and democratic forces will be definitively out of the game. And Lula will become just a portrait on the wall, a reminder of the times when the country seemed to have found its destiny.
Hence the importance of analyzing harm reduction policies and forming a democratic front before it's too late. Even if it means the PT (Workers' Party) relinquishing a leading role that, by right, should be theirs.
