MAB repudiates fascist coup attempt in Brazil

The actions orchestrated by Bolsonaro’s  fascist groups against the three powers of the Republic, which took place on the 8th, in Brasilia (DF), aim to stimulate and create a situation of chaos and national instability to forge a coup against democracy and the majority of the Brazilian people who legitimately elected Lula president.

The groups that led and promoted the terrorist actions were defeated electorally and want to return to power through the use of extreme violence to maintain the interests and privileges granted by the Bolsonaro government to the rich minority.

Bolsonarism is the fascism of our times. It does not accept the sovereignty of the Brazilian people’s vote and the commitment of the new, legitimately elected government to reduce social inequalities. The coup plotters intend to preserve the system of exploitation and oppression against the immense majority of the working people. 

MAB repudiates the coup attempt in Brazil, promoted by Bolsonarist fascists, and stands in solidarity with the Lula government, while it is willing to fight for democracy and the interests of the working class.

We call on the militancy to maintain vigilance in defense of democracy and mobilized to fight all coup attempts.

Water and energy with sovereignty, distribution of wealth and popular control!
