The situation in Brazil is critical and there will be violent forces that seek to take away our rights, but the event of today – just like previous acts – has been of great participation and vigour. Students give a special shine. It’s really very gratifying to be on this side of the stuggle… may it occupy an important part of our memory. Militancy shows an impetuousness and courage to resist… The swindlers act out of their own interests, they are blurred and diffuse forms of life, semi-living fossils whose days are numbered… To see pulsating and militant youth brings us hope.
Neither the perverse elites, nor the conservatives, neither the manipulative media are omnipotent and they don’t have the future under control… The future belongs to the new. But it won’t be easy… The coup is being defended with all the apparatus of police violence. Militancy will also have to use all its intelligence in order to know when to advance and when to retreat… Without losing joy and team spirit, with the brotherhood so well expressed in today’s act that counted on the presence of political leaders of the left who were given ovations by the people.
