Esteemed friends, we of the MST movement in Brazil are in a great fight for resistance against the coup and to defend democracy. As all of you may know, in Brazil we are living a “White Coup”, which is a combination of actions by the National Congress with the support of the judicial system and, obviously, by national communications mediums. It is our understanding that this coup serves international interests linked to big money and has as its main objective the privatization of the Brazilian State and, above all, the transformation of the country into a neoliberal State. In this scenario, it is extremely important that the progressive popular forces, friends from left and intellectual friends in organizations join us in this fight for democracy. A coup in Brazil will bring widespread problems not only for all of the Brazilian people, but also to Latin America as a whole, given the geographic importance of Brazil, especially in this moment of serious crisis in the international capital. In light of this, we are in a large battle to denounce the coup and, obviously, put up a hard fight against the main figure of the coup, that is Michel Temer, along with the former House Speaker Eduardo Cunha.
