historical ally of Squid and one of the authorities called to the stage of the launch ceremony of PT’s pre-candidacy for the Palácio do Planalto on Saturday, 7th, the leader of the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST), João Pedro Stedile, gave this Wednesday, 11, the Jair Bolsonaro one of those “gifts” that will hardly go unnoticed by the presidential reelection campaign. In an interview with the online program in Berlinda, Stedile said that the economic crisis why does the country pass there’s a culpritand it is not the ex-captain, but the “capitalism”.
Although his support for Lula in the October elections is clear, Stedile’s statements sound like music to the ears of Bolsonaristas. “We have to organize the people, so that, in a government of change, we can guarantee a program that actually faces the crisis, because the crisis is not Bolsonaro’s, the crisis belongs to capitalism,” he said. Avant-garde in the art of exploiting public statements for political ends, councilor Carlos Bolsonaro (Republicanos-RJ) has commanded his father’s social networks since the last elections and has used this expedient to, with videos cut to his liking, disqualify opponents and expose alleged contradictions. in their speeches.
In the interview, the landless leader digresses on how capitalism, in his opinion, cannot produce more goods needed to supply humanity and how its misrepresentation – in this case endorsed by Bolsonaro – generates environmental crimes and attacks on indigenous lands. “We are facing the environmental crisis resulting from the crimes that big capital commits against nature. (…) It is a disgrace that the government encourages the invasion of indigenous lands and even worse for deforestation and for gold mining, which uses a lot of mercury, contaminates rivers and kills the population,” he said. “What has changed with Bolsonaro is more serious than the simple relationship with the MST. The latifundium, which was fought against, is now within the government. The President of the UDR (rural entity) now he is the head of INCRA, that is, they literally handed over the chicken coop to the fox”.
