On Tuesday, BE considered that “the biggest danger of the April celebrations is that they become funeral ceremonies” and defended that “a government that hides in victimization” does not care about the seed of the revolution, refusing to drown it “in formaldehyde.” “.
“A government that hides in victimization by a pandemic or war, which turns into an advertising agency and “points” that no one believes in, no matter how many carnations stick into the chest, does not care about the April seed,” accused Katarina Martins at the last solemn commemorative April 25 meeting in the Assembly of the Republic as leader of the BE.
Using a few phrases from the song “Tanto Mar”, which the Brazilian Chico Buarque composed in honor of the Carnation Revolution, the leader of BA warned that “the biggest danger of the April celebrations is that they become funeral ceremonies” with “repetitive words, forgotten carnations in the chest , ready-made phrases, anti-fascist statements in an inflamed tone and without any specific translation.
“And if whenever the fascist stench makes itself felt, in parliament as in life, we will fight it together without hesitation, we strongly refuse to replace all essential political debate with riots of the extreme right. April seed. We refuse to drown in formaldehyde,” he stressed.
The BE leader praised “a whole nation that cares for this seed.”
“It is this seed that is being cared for by the teachers who take to the streets, by the thousands of people demanding housing, health and dignity, marching for equality, borrowing for the climate. How beautiful is this party that fills the streets and avenues that resist and offer, where we meet and will meet. This is the seed and commitment of the Left. It is from this seed that a political, popular alternative will be born, which is being built every day, ”he praised.
If it is “true that the smell of mustiness is lingering in many parts of the world, that the fungus of hate is spreading in the dark cellars of social networks, that even in a democratic parliament there can be mold spots”, BE Coordinator “no, it is less obvious that these fungi can be defeated and that mold will disappear under the same sun that germinates the seed.”
“Let us know how to take care of the April Seed,” he asked.
Catharina Martins’ intervention ended up borrowing Chico Buarque’s lyrics again: “‘Sing about spring, man.’ Let’s celebrate today. Long live April 25th!
