Le quotidien (communiste) britannique The Morning Star a publié une déclaration condamnant le coup d’état au Brésil. La déclaration a été signée par plus de 115 personnalités britanniques dont 35 parlementaires.
La déclaration est la suivante :
Nous condamnons la suspension de la Présidente Dilma Roussef du Brésil, ce qui constitue une nouvelle escalade dans les tentatives de l’opposition de droite de renverser le gouvernement élu.
Il est inadmissible que quelques parlementaires puissent piétiner le volonté politique exprimée dans les urnes par 54 millions de Brésiliens.
Le nouveau gouvernement a montré son véritable visage en désignant un cabinet non représentatif, exclusivement masculin, et en lançant une politique néolibérale, dont des licenciements dans le secteur public, qui portera atteinte à des millions de travailleurs et de pauvres.
Ceci est incroyable car le gouvernement d’intérim de Temer n’a reçu aucun mandant électoral pour la mise en oeuvre de cette politique qui va à l’encontre des programmes sociaux des gouvernements de Dilma et Lula qui, entre autres réalisations, ont sorti 40 millions de personnes de la pauvreté.
Il y a aussi une campagne soutenue qui vise à discréditer l’ancien président Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, pour l’empêcher de se présenter aux prochaines élections présidentielles.
Il revient au peuple brésilien et à lui seul de choisir son gouvernement. Nous joignons nos voix aux mouvements politiques, sociaux et groupes progressistes brésiliens de toute la société civile comme le mouvement syndical mondial, et gouvernements de la région, aux condamnations de cette tentative de renverser la démocratie au Brésil.
