Tocantins 247 - To reorganize the country's left against the impeachment process of suspended President Dilma Rousseff (PT), more than 30 groups launched the Popular Brazil Front (FBP) this week in Palmas, on the campus of the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT). The organization also advocates for a social inclusion project.
Present at the FBP launch event, state deputy José Roberto (PT) stated that the current fight against what he called the right wing's attempt to reimpose its neoliberal project under "the farce of impeachment" must encompass all social movements and left-wing organizations.
"This is a time for mobilization and urgent occupation of public spaces, as well as confrontation with institutions that currently reflect the interests of the national bourgeoisie, such as state and municipal parliaments," he said.
The Front is made up of segments such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and political parties. Among these organizations are the Unified Workers' Central (CUT), the Landless Workers' Movement (MST), the Movement of People Affected by Dams (MAB), the Brazilian Union of Secondary School Students (Ubes), the Federation of Agricultural Workers of the State of Tocantins (Fetaet), the Kizomba Movement, the Popular Youth Uprising, the National Movement for the Struggle for Housing (MNLM), the LGBT struggle movement, and the Central of Popular Movements (CMP).
