TV 247 - The president of the Workers' Cause Party, Rui Costa Pimenta, gave an interview to TV 247 this week, analyzing the latest events in the election race and predicting that the rise of conservatism in the country will leave its mark on politics. He emphasizes that the candidate who is elected president of Brazil will have to follow the right-wing playbook "or face a conservative National Congress," he points out.
Pimenta continues to defend the PCO's opinion that the candidacy belongs to Lula and not to the former mayor of São Paulo, Fernando Haddad, "we have to take it, Lula or nothing, to the end, with no room for plan B," he emphasizes.
He believes that, by running in the election, Haddad obscures the main fact that the election is fraudulent, creating an element of confusion. "We must make all the steps of the coup very clear, including the election without Lula," Pimenta emphasizes.
When evaluating the name of Manuela D'Ávila (PCdoB-RS), who will be Haddad's running mate if Lula is legally prevented from participating in the elections, Pimenta believes there was pressure from the PCdoB to nominate her as vice-president. "Lula didn't want Manuela's name on the ticket," he observes.
Pimenta reports that he watched scenes from the presidential debate on Rede Bandeirantes, stating that presidential candidate Cabo Daciolo has mental problems, classifying him as a right-wing version of Antônio Conselheiro. "It's comical, but bordering on sinister; we shouldn't underestimate names like Daciolo and Bolsonaro. Even Hitler was a caricature," he warns.
Continuing his explanation of the election results, he observes Geraldo Alckmin's (PSDB-SP) move towards a more radical discourse. "There is an emptying of the center; the PSDB is trying to occupy the far right because they were defeated in their traditional discourse," reveals Pimenta.
The president of the PCO (Workers' Cause Party) states that projections of a more conservative National Congress will bring harmful consequences. "Any president who doesn't follow the right-wing agenda will be blackmailed by a conservative National Congress."
He says "that the solution is real popular power," and that "we cannot remain hostage to illusion." "In Brazil, voting has long been worth little," concludes Rui Costa Pimenta.
