EDITORIAL FROM THE RESISTANT CHANNEL
We begin the year 2022 with the presidential election in mind, to be held in October. These will be months of intense political struggle, pitting distinct visions for the country against each other. On one side, the far-right, anti-democratic, neoliberal, and proto-fascist, presents two candidates: the incompetent, biased, and corrupt former judge, Sérgio Moro, and the current President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro. On the other side, the popular and democratic camp presents Lula's candidacy, which is consolidated in all opinion polls.
The Resistentes Channel publicly expresses its support for Lula's candidacy for President of the Republic, even though this candidacy has not yet been officially announced.
Our support involves presenting the main issues that Canal Resistentes has been advocating for since its founding in March 2019, at the beginning of the current government.
They are:
1. Energy sovereignty:
1.1. Recovery of Petrobras assets sold on the international speculative market from the FHC government to the present day. The entire oil and gas production chain must be under state public control.
1.2. Eletrobrás cannot be privatized.
1.3. Incentives for alternative sources of electricity generation such as solar, photovoltaic and wind power.
2. Economic sovereignty:
2.1. The Central Bank is subject to the power established by vote, that is, under the guidance of the Presidency of the Republic. We advocate for the repeal of the Constitutional Amendment that established the autonomy of the Central Bank. The Central Bank should orient its monetary and exchange rate policy towards full employment and lower inflation.
2.2. Reform of the banking system that strengthens public banks and breaks the monopoly of private banks.
2.3. Control of the Capital Account at the Central Bank in line with national interests. When necessary, close the Capital Account.
2.4. Citizen Audit of Public Debt.
2.5. Repeal of the Spending Cap.
2.6. Promoting the solidarity economy with attention to associative and cooperative processes.
2.7. Combating hunger, poverty, and economic inequality with immediate assistance programs and increases in the minimum wage.
3. Popular sovereignty:
3.1. For a public, free, universal, and empowering educational program, from basic education to higher education, accessible to the entire population. Inclusive education, integrated with cultures, respecting diversity, reducing all forms of inequality, and accessible to all people.
3.2. Towards a Universal and Integrated Health System, strengthened in its financing to meet all the social commitments expressed in the 1988 Constitution.
3.3. Repeal all Labor and Social Security Reforms enacted during the Temer administration.
3.4. Towards an Urban and Agrarian Reform that meets the popular demands of both rural and urban areas.
3.5. For collective land ownership in urban and rural settlements.
3.6. For the recovery and expansion of family farming and small food producers, seeking food security and quality.
3.7. For the maintenance of the Post Office as a state-owned public company.
3.8. For a military doctrine that clearly defines the role of the Armed Forces in the defense of our borders and territorial sovereignty, and that definitively overcomes their status as guardians of our democracy.
3.9. Radicalization of democracy through the use of plebiscites and referendums to decide major national issues, and the formation of popular committees and councils to define public policy strategies.
4. Environmental sovereignty:
4.1. Towards an energy transition to a low-carbon economy.
4.2. Regarding the demarcation of indigenous lands, quilombola lands, riverside lands, and lands of native peoples, regardless of the Registration of the Request, that is, we are against the "Time Framework," because we understand that a mere legal thesis cannot restrict the living conditions and survival of native peoples.
4.3. For the recovery and preservation of the Amazon, Cerrado, Caatinga, Atlantic Forest, and Pantanal biomes.
4.4. Our water resources and river basins must be planned and managed democratically, decentralized, and participatively. Basic sanitation, especially water, is a common social and ecological good for all people.
4.5. Capacity building of government structures and the population to address and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
We are clear that our agenda is not limited to just a period of popular and democratic government, nor does it obey the logic of the electoral game. The construction of a Sovereign and Inclusive Nation Project that confronts racism, misogyny, LGBTQIA+phobia, as well as all our age-old inequities, will only happen with the emergence of the Working Class as the protagonist of this struggle. The limits of class conciliation politics in Brazil were established with the coup of August 2016 and all the coups that preceded it. Either we learn from history or we will repeat the same mistakes. Canal Resistentes stands alongside these struggles and believes, in the current context, that Lula's candidacy for President of the Republic in 2022 can represent the beginning of a journey towards the emancipation of the Brazilian people.
Let's fight!
