Resistência

Supported by the demonstrations of last March 13^th and also by illegal and abusive actions of Operation Lava Jato[1] – as was the case of leading coercively the former president Lula to testify in Federal Police – the most reactionary sectors of the neoliberal right – in collusion with the communication monopolies – radicalized the demand for a coup against government. They are largely proclaiming that “in weeks” they will depose President Dilma Rousseff.

The truth is another. Whatever government enthroned by a coup impeachment will lead the country to a conflagration, which will aggravate the political instability and deepen the recession. There is no solution outside of democracy. Just in 2018, by presidential elections, it will be possible change the Presidency, in according to the Federal Constitution.

In this critical moment of country life, the PCdoB calls upon democratic and popular forces, even those that are separated by legitimate divergences, so that we will converge to unite around democracy, which is the most precious good of the nation.

That we will unite us, too, all men and women moved by the conviction that justice is not confronting the democratic rule of law. To unite all men and women who respect the divergences and reject the culture of intolerance and hatred.

PCdoB calls: March 18, we must go to the streets for democracy, against the coup. Let the streets with multicolour social organizations, democracy and Brazil.  March 18 all to the streets, by the retaking of economic growth and job creation.
