Petition in Defense of Democracy


In a democracy, neither is sovereign powers. Sovereign is the Constitution, for it is she who gives body and soul to the sovereignty of the people.

Above are the political institutions, pillars of the democratic regime. Today in Brazil, unhappy with representative democracy is organized in government to undermine the democratic regime.

It is unbearable to watch the use of organs of state as an extension of one political party machine secrets and violation of individual rights of aggression.

It is unacceptable that party activists have converted direct administration bodies, state companies and pension funds in the production centers of cases against political opponents.

It is unfortunate that the President hides in the government that we do not see the government in which the relations of patronage and physiology, if not shockingly familiar, arbitrate the highest interests of the country, refusing to any control.

It is inconceivable that one of the most important democracies in the world is haunted by a hypocritical form of authoritarianism, which, in the certainty of impunity, no longer cares more about value honesty.

It's embarrassing that the President does not understand that their role must be exercised in its fullness in the twenty-four hours a day. There is no "after hours" for a Head of State. It is also embarrassing that he has the composure to separate the man from the state party man, putting to vilify their political opponents with unacceptable language, incompatible with the decorum of the office, a demonstration of blatant abuse of political power and use of official machinery in favor of an application. He does not see the "other" an adversary that must be met in accordance with rules, but an enemy that must be eliminated.

It is shameful that the government encourage and finance the action of groups that openly call for restrictions on press freedom by proposing mechanisms of authoritarian submission of journalists and media companies at the orders of a political party and its interests.

It is disgusting that this same official publicity machine has been activated to rewrite history, seeking to discredit the work of Brazilian men and women who built the foundations of economic and political stability, which brought many benefits to our people.

It is an insult to the Republic that the Legislature is treated as a mere extension of the executive, explaining the intent of the Senate halter. It is deplorable that even the President publicly regretted the fact of having to submit to the decisions of the judiciary.

We must therefore address this regressive vision of the political process, which assumes that power won at the polls or popularity of a leader give it license to ignore the Constitution and laws. We propose a strong mobilization in favor of its preservation, repudiating the action of those who today use subterfuge to undermine them. You have to brake this march toward authoritarianism.

Brazilian raise his voice in defense of the Constitution, institutions and legality.
