The International Socialist League expresses its total solidarity with comrade Glauber Braga (PSOL-RJ), federal deputy threatened with impeachment by the former president of the Chamber, Arthur Lira, and the most reactionary sectors of Brazilian politics.
The persecution against Glauber is openly political. They want to silence a deputy who refuses to be an accomplice of silence and cowardice, and who uses his mandate as a true tribune of denunciation against corruption schemes, such as the scandalous Secret Budget. Glauber is a coherent voice of the left, acting with class independence, confronting both the extreme right and the pacts of conciliation with the interests of capital.
At this moment, Glauber is in his eighth day of hunger strike, using his own body as a tool of denunciation and resistance. His radical and courageous action is a cry against injustice, a call for active solidarity from all sectors committed to democratic conquests and popular struggle.
It is outrageous to see that the parliamentarians who voted to open the process of Glauber’s expulsion are the same ones who rushed to vote for the urgency of dealing with the amnesty to Bolsonaro and the coup perpetrators of January 8. The objective is obvious, the coup plotters must be pardoned, while a combative deputy must be silenced. This reveals the profoundly anti-democratic and authoritarian character of the maneuver underway.
The attempt to impeach Glauber Braga is not only an attack on a leftist mandate, but also on the democratic freedoms won with the struggle of the working class. It is an attempt to silence the denunciation and the struggle in parliament, a reprisal against those who dare to confront power.
We will not passively accept this attack. We will be up in struggle, in all spaces, in defense of Glauber’s mandate and against any attempt to criminalize the left and those who organize and mobilize against the governments and bosses.
Glauber stays, no to impeachment! Down with political persecution! In defense of the mandates won by the working class!
