Mino Carta dissects FHC and Lula: "the prince and the commoner"

"While former President Lula is convicted without evidence and imprisoned without a crime, the prince of the big house (FHC), owner of a remarkable fortune, lives in perfect peace without deserving the slightest shadow of risk or threat," says journalist Mino Carta in an article in Carta Capital, entitled "The Prince and the Commoner."

247 - During his presidency, Fernando Henrique Cardoso's initial project "gained consistency. In eight years, he managed to orchestrate the biggest swindle in the nation's history with the privatization of communications, buy votes to achieve the constitutional amendment that allowed reelection, and bankrupt the country three times," says journalist Mino Carta, in an analysis published in... Capital letter"Upon coming to power, Lula found a monumental debt and empty coffers. Note: during FHC's government, Petrobras, as always, went through various episodes of corruption," he adds.

The journalist emphasizes that, "in the cover story of this edition, Alceu Luís Castilho, who has long been dedicated to this task, recounts how our hero became the prince of the big house, with all the benefits due to such an imposing character at the center of a plot about the conquest of power in its broadest and, if we wish, most astonishing sense."

"The protagonists occupy, at the very least, a conspicuous wing of the manor house thanks to cunning maneuvers of not so ancient origin, although, to say the least, far beyond suspicion. The family of a retired university professor, as will be proven, and their cronies and accomplices, strive with extreme efficiency and total lack of scruples in pursuit of privilege and wealth. Read and be amazed," he says.

According to Mino, "while former president Lula is condemned without evidence and imprisoned without a crime, the prince of the big house, owner of a remarkable fortune, lives in perfect peace without deserving the slightest shadow of risk or threat." "It is lamentable that the country of football is incapable of understanding the fraud of the upcoming election and the tragic destiny awaiting us. Will there be a cure, however, for this dementia? Perhaps it is as difficult to make the Brazilian people understand that Neymar is, first and foremost, ridiculous and that the ball is not treated with affection only by native feet, as it is to perceive themselves as victims of the 2016 coup and the state of exception, its result, an endless abyss into which we have plunged," he adds.
