Brazil, Note repudiating the political defamation by Brazilian Anarchist Coordination (pt)

[machine translation]

The Brazilian Anarchist Coordination (CAB) hereby issue a notice of repudiation of slander 
which has been suffering during this election period by certain sectors and, recently, a 
collective of alternative media. These come in a cowardly way implying or stating flatly 
that members of our current (specific) have supported the critical vote in the Dilma 
government, with the clear intention of attacking our Coordination. ---- The position of 
the Brazilian Anarchist Coordination (CAB), which gathers nine anarchist organizations 
that chain, scattered in various parts of the country, has always been clear in this 
regard: "Either you vote us up. Or if you struggle with low", ie, the defense of the null 
vote and electoral abstention. Beyond the cyclical analysis, in which we assessed the 
specificities of two proposals for management of Brazilian capitalism, linked to our 
coordinating organizations have issued dozens of press releases and conducted activities 
that leave no doubt about our position; recommending to our membership and those around us 
to "not vote", the "Vote Null" and mainly from the addition, the organizing bases for the 
construction of People's Power .

We recall that the CAB, in this sense, and only requires consistency responds to its own 
militancy. We have no control of militant social movements of the position in which we 
operate and, nor, can be held responsible for individual choices out of our checking. We 
also know that, despite disagreements with other currents of socialism on this point, 
we'll keep a fraternal relationship with those who hold other opinions. Our debate has 
always been and will always be political. Defamatory, libelous innuendo and untruths are 
not part of our political practice.

We call attention to the ethical responsibility of diffusing this slanderous opinion or 
omitted before the libel that our coordination is suffering, even if it put them as 
anarchists.

So, once again, follow the fight outside the ballot box and in the construction of popular 
power.

Or vote for the top, or if you struggle with low!
