Brasilia (Prensa Latina) The eve of the day a year ago that many in Brazil will remember as ''Day of Shame'', Michel Temer recognizes now that the coup perpetrated against constitutional President Dilma Rousseff, was a consequence of not submitting to Eduardo Cunha''s blackmail. What is certain is that the action started by Cunha in the lower Chamber the 17th of April, 2016 and supported by 367 federal deputies, who alleging the most unlikely reasons, they decided to admit the demanded political trial with the aim of dismissal is against the second term of a president elected by over 54 million Brazilians.
'Out of democracy what will exist is chaos and permanent uncertainty', warned then ex-president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and the events, since then, are proving him right.
As consequence of the parliamentary-judicial coup-d'etat took the reins of the country a government of white, old men without women or negroes, with several of its members sub-poened in the anti-corruption operation Lava Jato and with, Temer in charge, put to work a neoliberal program rejected four times at the ballot boxes since 2002.
That's how it was approved what analysts describe as the greatest coup on social rights inscribed in the 1988 Constitution: the Proposed Constitutional Amendment (PEC 55), that limits public government expenses for 20 years and whose consequences will be felt in health, education and social programs.
The so-called 'PEC of the end of the world' was followed by another two similar proposals, also pushed by Temer and which generated equal popular rejection: the reforms of the pension system and for flexibilization of labor legislation, both now in process at the Chamber of Deputies.
That without forgetting the rush in proclaiming a law that expands the subcontracting to all activities and that, according to the criteria of the trade unions, does not promote employment -as the government says- it becomes precarious at a moment when the rate of unemployment is higher than ever.
Contrary to his promises of recovery of jobs, Temer faces todayh the highest historical index of unemployment with 13.5 million jobless. A situation that does not promises to improve in the context of an economy that does not show reactivation.
According to a survey of the Institute Vox Populi, barely five percent of Brazilians say the Temer administration is positive, while 68 percent describes as negative his government.
That has an explanation and was given by Dilma herself: there is an absolute paralysis before all that is happening, because those who gave the coup now do not know what to do. (Taken from Weekly Orbe).
