(en) Anarkismo.net: Brazil, Fear and manipulation of popular participation by BrunoL (pt)

The weeks before the World Cup have been marked by the Brazilian popular protagonism. We 
strike subway, bus, professors, movement in defense of property and visibility of the 
Popular Committees Cup. ---- The government's proposal, through the decree which embodies 
the National Policy for Social Participation (PNPS), is the least shy and seen as 
electioneering by the opposition and the very base of the Plateau. ---- If exposure to 
global media is a parameter, the fight against the excesses of FIFA is already victorious, 
and this agenda publicized across the world. Merit who initiated this lawsuit against 
almost everyone in today distant year of 2010. ---- Leaving little for the start of the 
event, the country's football debate pre-election schedule in an attempt to cash in on the 
street actions. The PSDB-UDN opposition insists on trying to delegitimize the achievements 
of the coalition government, basing the economic agenda through the "inflationary 
pressure" and the fictional targeting regime as greater than the direct use value.

The part of the ruling center-right (with a maximum of Keynesian), gives the inverse. The 
inclusion of the world consumption and employment form the currency more than enough to 
ensure the profits of the national champions.

For insertion of Brazil in the center of international capitalism, was made homework. We 
are a middle power, one of the leaders of the G-20 and we are turning the axis of the 
world to the South-South relations. The problem is in the home, particularly in the streets.

The government's proposal, through the decree which embodies the National Policy for 
Social Participation (PNPS), is the least shy and seen as electioneering by the opposition 
and the very base of the Plateau. My criticisms go to reverse that manifested in angry 
editorials and speeches Lacerdistas right.

There is no problem to formalize Councils of Popular Participation, however. When more 
instances of direct, better focus. If this affront the lapsed status of indirect 
representation, is because democracies "mature" generally increase the distance between 
representatives and represented.

If there is any dilemma in this proposal is the fact that she had been in an election 
year, to bill the urn which was not done in four years in office.

The time to address the problem was in the second half of 2013, when there was a popular 
force on the street and ready to move in direct democracy. It's too bad for the Brazilian 
more a claim historic popular movement being used for electioneering manner.
After the election, the popular agenda needs to settle accounts with the government shift, 
requiring mechanisms of direct democracy and the deepening of PNPS.
