Sao Paulo, Sep 28 (Prensa Latina) Professionals linked to progressive thinking are meeting today in this city to launch the manifest For a Just and Democratic Brazil, intended to feed the debate and propose a new economic policy.
From this document it is intended to suggest and expose alternatives that assure a return to growth of the counjhtry and combat the severe social inequities in order to guarantee a promisory future for the new generations, highlighted the coordinator of this work, Eduardo Fagnani.

For a Just and Democratic Brazil emerged from the dissatisfaction

of progressive movements with the direction of the economic policy adopted by the government since the beginning of this year and the measures of raising taxes, he stressed.

We emphasize that the key issue is financial and the problem of high taxes, which constitute a unique problem in this nation, he asserted, when there are countries with an overall debt three times the size of this territory and citizens pay half the tributes.

"It is just a big Brazilian fiscal imbalance", said Fagnani, also economist and profesor of the state University of Campinas.

We want to demonstrate this crisis, so called terminal event of the Brazilian economy, finds no support in economic data, as "the economic scenario was polluted by the political one."

We are facing an effort of the right to destabilize the government after the 2014 elections, revealing "a fabricated crisis in a certain way by market economic terrorism," he indicated.

The economist spoke in favor of changing the adjustment plan of the government, to find alternatives and not limit the agenda to proposals elaborated by conservative sectors and the financial system.

Brazil needs a more flexible economic policy, based on the macroeconomic tripod, inflation control, a floating currency rate and primary superávit targets to be able to grow again abnd advance in social achievements, he pointed out.

It is necessary to change the course, not increase more the taxes, that rose 4.5 percent in 2013 to 14 percent at present, as government proposals

will generate more unemployment and poverty, and will leave the executive without the support of sectors that were once beneficiaries over the last 10 years with social policies, he said.

The meeting will be held this afternoon at the Braston Hotel and expects to have an attendance of over 100 professionals of social movements, trade unions and Brazilian political parties.
