Since its inception, the World Cup was disastrous for the oppressed sectors of the
country. Its preparation has indicated the strong censure suffer all those men and women
who are in the opposite direction of their actions. The Cup, with its laws and regulations
put at risk the rights of poor people of Brazil. The list of instances of oppression is
gigantic and the outcome of his stay here, leaves a "staggering legacy" in terms of
political persecution and criminalization that shows the true face of state and capital.
---- We know that the criticisms that have been made to this mega event arise with the
dissatisfactions of the general population and certainly these dissatisfactions are under
greater within the most oppressed. Violence against poverty, which was already established
practice of governments and their police intensifies this period and communities suffer in
the hands of a repressive apparatus and murderer, the street population becomes much more
vulnerable to attacks from those who "defend the order "The hawkers, informal workers are
attacked and robbed by the" State inspection "so they can not macular big sponsors and big
brands, the 250,000 families who lost their homes cons of works Cup are also experiencing
severe consequences for part of development policy.
Importantly, those who profited most from the World Cup in Brazil contractors were
already millionaires and FIFA itself . An estimated revenues of U.S. $ 26 million (the
budget in 2014 for Science, Technology and Innovation was U.S. $ 6.9 billion) only the
coffers of the Federal Government, with Odebrecht participant in four stages.
Entrepreneurs profit, and governments benefit from the "Box 2" always used by the parties
in order, for example in the work of Maracan? where the ECA found overpricing of 67.3
million. Not to mention that such entertainment stadiums serve only the white elite of the
country, as demonstrated in research Datafolha on the Chile game: 67% of those who
attended the game were white, and 90% belonging to class A, contrasting with a population
which 49% (9% of those who watched the game) of the population is part of the class C, and
having in its population over 56% of blacks and browns (self declared). These data leave
no doubt about to whom such games were made.
Popular movements since 2013, drawing a new scenario demonstrations in the country
suffered a growing brutal persecution that tries to intimidate and take up the latest
strategies consequences of criminalization of popular aspirations. Police received large
investments to better attack the angry population with social injustices. A constant mark
of all governments since the beginning of 2014, the scene of demonstrations and strikes
was intense repression, doing their investigations and charges a big step for a tougher
state in legal and military framework. This was the case of prisons held in Goi?nia for an
investigation of the Civil Police and Fortaleza, as well as the arrests of protesters in
Joinville (SC), held in the demonstrations against the increase of the passage, where
detainees (some of the Anarchist Coordination Brazilian) are beginning to respond in court
having to attend several hearings. All this repressive system is the support of the
mainstream media, with their monopolies across the country, whose pillars are important
instruments for this "witch hunt". Powerful tools misrepresent and criminalize the
struggles that social movements have done.
The surveys that have been mounted are stark evidence of vocation that justice and
governments have to hunt down the militants and their political movements. All the
measures used by the police with the support of justice are infamous. In 2013 he suffered
great repression streets already let a lot of their injured guarantees manifestations us,
as well as put in jail for no real proof some people. This year, with the start of the
Copa various states of the country are violated in raids and in the last week have a giant
list of warrants "temporary prisons" River of January.
Dozens of militants and activists are arrested and taken to jail in Bangor, where they are
held. The arguments for this absurd action are deeply ideological, where governments make
use of state violence, and known as the old politics by other means. An operation that
aims to deprivation of freedom to express and comment on social issues in the country. A
police operation that stain with remnants exception state the time we live. Unsurprisingly
the police present as "evidence" against protesters options of the same class, with absurd
apprehensions of political materials such as books, pamphlets, flags (as in the invasion
of the headquarters of the FAG and current processes). Ride from this great HUMBUG charges
as conspiracy or even private militia to attack those who speak out against social
injustices practiced daily against the most oppressed sections of society.
The measures taken by the (in) justice that accepts Brazilian prisons and ordering is
shameful and we know we can not expect anything different coming from these institutions;
Our task is widely denounce chop this occurring with precarious rights of the people of
this country. The escalation of police violence and the criminalization of the poor
reaches various sectors of the trade union and popular struggle, as the dismissal of 60
Subway in SP and a fine of ? 355 million against his union. Added to this, the recent
layoffs 169 temporary workers IBGE, who were on strike and the numerous arrests warrants
issued in Rio de Janeiro and S?o Paulo.
These numerous cases that do not stop growing, require the close attention and a strong
campaign of solidarity between sectors of the oppressed class. In the context of arrests
and persecution left combative and independent employers and governments must act together
in tremendous complaint about these violations.
We need to surround yourself with whom solidarity is having his private freedom, open
strong campaigns to report that today, the right to demonstrate and organization being
attacked with heavy blows tape, bullets and tear gas. We must continue to build
alternatives and a strategy of mass at that moment attacking the ruling classes. For this
it is necessary to empower the basic trade union bodies, popular movements and independent
movement of rural employers, governments and bureaucracies.
That thousands of abused and murdered by the state people are not forgotten, that the
strikers do not feel alone, so that all protesters and activists are not criminalized and
that prisons do not go unpunished, we put our modest but believes SOLIDARITY CLASS and our
commitment to denounce these aberrations committed by rulers of Brazil, today led by the
Workers' Party (PT) that accommodates the interests of the rich with the strong repression
of the poor and fighters.
We will continue the fight comrades!
For the immediate release of all political prisoners!
Protesting is not a crime!
They Will Not pass!
