Juventude do Partido Trabalhista de Portugal envia apoio à democracia brasileira

Contra o fascismo e contra o risco da eleição de Bolsonaro, o embaixador da Juventude Socialista do Partido Trabalhista de Portugal, Felipe Damasceno, enviou um manifesto em apoio as juventudes progressistas e partidárias brasileiras. O documento é assinado por jovens de toda a Europa.

EM APOIO DOS JOVENS PROGRESSISTAS BRASILEIROS

Nós, jovens cidadãos europeus, comprometemo-nos a apoiar a união da juventude progressista do Brasil na sua luta para salvar a democracia.

Nós assistimos os resultados do primeiro turno do processo eleitoral brasileiro com grande preocupação. Só os brasileiros podem mudar o rumo dos acontecimentos e acreditamos que será a força dos jovens que fará a diferença.

A ameaça à democracia é real, a divisão do povo é dramática, o populismo alimentado pelo medo tornou-se violento. Estes são os valores representados na candidatura de Jair Bolsonaro.

A história do Brasil e da Europa foi marcada pelo sombrio episódio de ditaduras. Os nossos povos sofreram os males da guerra e da opressão. Muitos eram os brasileiros que, como refugiados, buscavam o exílio na Europa e vice-versa, pois ditaduras só dão espaço para a obediência aos tiranos. Foi com a conquista da democracia que conseguimos construir uma sociedade melhor, com mais oportunidades e levantar as bandeiras do estado bem-estar buscando mitigar as desigualdades. Sabemos que a luta por estes ideais nunca acaba. Em tempos de crise, existem forças que tentam nos seduzir para o caminho do retrocesso, tentando nos convencer de que sacrificar nossos direitos será a única solução.

Não desistam! Até o dia 28 de outubro, lutem incansavelmente, toquem e cantem novamente as canções e poemas de resistência e solidariedade nas ruas. Lembre-se da luta que foi necessária para conquistar a soberania do povo.

O Brasil é um país com extensas relações internacionais, de dimensões gigantescas e composto por um povo multicultural que reúne em seu sangue e sua história a mais rica mistura de etnias. A divisão que eles estão tentando plantar artificialmente na sociedade brasileira só enfraquece este grande povo.

Digamos um categórico NÃO a Bolsonaro, pela construção de um Brasil de valores humanos, de liberdade, com igualdade e solidariedade.

Nós estamos com connosco! #ELENÃO!

English Version:

IN SUPPORT OF YOUNG BRAZILIAN PROGRESSISTS

We, young European citizens, take our vow to support the union of the progressive youth of Brazil in their struggle to save democracy.

We see the results of the first round of the Brazilian electoral process with great concern. Only Brazilians can change the course of events and we believe that it will be the strength of young people that will make a difference.

The threat to democracy is real. The division of the people is dramatic. Populism fueled by fear has become violent. These are the values of the candidate Jair Bolsonaro. The history of Brazil and Europe has been marked by the somber episode of dictatorships. Our people suffered the evils of war and oppression. Many were the Brazilians who, as refugees, sought exile in Europe, and vice versa. For dictatorships only give room for obedience to tyrants. It was with the conquest of democracy that we managed to build a better society with more opportunities, and to raise well-being programs seeking to mitigate inequalities.

We know that the struggle to maintain these ideals is never over. In times of crisis, there are forces that try to seduce us into retreat, trying to convince us that sacrificing our rights will be the only solution.

Do not give in! Until October 28, fight tirelessly, play and sing again the songs and poems of resistance and solidarity in the streets. Remember the struggle that was necessary to conquer the sovereignty of the people. Brazil is a country with vast international relations, of gigantic dimensions and composed of a multicultural people that congregates in its blood and its history the richest mixture of ethnic groups. The division that they are trying to plant artificially in the society only weakens a great people.

Let’s say categorically NO to Bolsonaro, for Brazil’s construction of human values, liberty, equality and solidarity.

We are with you!
