Bolsonaro is a man of the system who presents himself as an anti-system, says Boaventura Sousa Santos

In an interview with Lu Sudré and Pedro Ribeiro Nogueira, published in the Monday edition of the newspaper Brasil de Fato, the Portuguese sociologist Boaventura Sousa Santos claims that Jair Bolsonaro was elected as a result of "circus of reactionary forces". the ultraconservatives in the world, "who present the" men of the system "as anti-system men.

" Emmanuel Macron is a financier of the Rothschild Group, one of the stars of the system. Trump managed to do all his business without paying federal taxes (he has to be well in the system) and Bolsonaro was 27 years old in Congress. As a result, they are always presented as falsely antisystemic solutions that seek above all to polarize society undemocratically. That is, they turn political opponents into enemies. We discuss with opponents, eliminate the enemies we destroy. And it is exactly this policy of hatred, of feeling. "

For Boaventura, the financial market is obviously the big driver of these conservative forces" because it shows its undemocratic character "[[19659007]" Markets do not vote. Markets do not ask what is the reaction of the citizens. The markets are five global investors that dominate the financial markets. It's a financial dictatorship. Incompatible with democracy. For this, his measures are social war: a mbadive transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich. Neoliberalism is this, it is nothing else. "

The sociologist says that he believes that the forces of law use democracy but do not serve democracy and that Brazil has become a" laboratory "of the coup d'etat.

"The reconciliation of the clbades that President Lula spoke to was conducted even though he was not able to help. it served the interests of the right in times of soaring commodity prices. At the time of the boom, the right is not interested in clbad reconciliation or democracy. So we have the institutional hard blow here in Brazil, where the most honest president of Latin America may have been hampered by the most corrupt politicians of America "

" I think that It is fundamental to distinguish the two countries, which is the most important of the Latin American countries. "

For the writer who has just published the book" The left of the world, let us unite ", what separates them and what unites them.What can bring them together? sure, it separates them a lot, but what unites them, is to stop this extreme right that will impoverish the country, which will destroy democracy in the last instance.My great desire and all my fight is that the leftists unite to draw lessons from the past and do not join them when it is too late.
