"The massacre in Santa Catarina is a symptom of the rise of the far right," says Jean Wyllys.
"The leaders of the Brazilian far-right not only imported the veneration of weapons from the American right, but also the spectacular way of spreading terror," he summarized.
247 - Former federal deputy Jean Wyllys lamented on Twitter this Wednesday (5) the attack on a daycare center in Blumenau (SC), which claimed the lives of four children, and stated that the episode is a symptom of the rise of the far right in Brazil.
"All my solidarity with the parents of the children killed in the massacre in Blumenau. I cannot imagine the magnitude of this pain. I believe, however, that it is important to understand this new massacre in schools in Brazil as a serious symptom of the rise of the far right," he began.
He highlighted that after four years of Jair Bolsonaro's (PL) government, "school massacres, previously common only in the US, are practically becoming routine in Brazil." "This form of terrorism is associated with the fear, anxiety, and panic that the far right creates in marginalized men who are networked and organized."
"The leaders of the Brazilian far right not only imported from the American right the veneration for weapons, white supremacist ideology, anti-intellectualism, and neo-Pentecostal evangelical fanaticism, but also, and above all, a spectacular way of committing and spreading terror," he summarized.
