World

a vision on the political parties in Brazil.

Marcos Loures | 30.06.2006 06:10 | Analysis | Free Spaces | World

The inexistence of consolidated political parties and the presidential succession in Brazil.


A thing that calls me the attention and a lot of times is forgotten and every day is observed in an exact way, he/she links with the absence of political parties in Brazil.
Our supporting structure is one of the worst and more fragile of the world, with absurd situations that will repeat in the next elections.
I am Botafoguense and I am proud of this, although Botafogo has brought me rare happiness and a lot of sadness. But I am botafoguense and deteriorate the rest.
I am Catholic for formation, but I am Catholic and that is my problem, even with the mistakes and successes of the Catholic Church, I am Catholic.
In relation to that, more than ninety percent of the Brazilians has their convictions that are practically unalterable.
The American north or it is republican or conservative. The Argentinean or it is Peronist or anti-Peronist; the Uruguayan is red or anti-red.
English or it is conservative or labor; and thereabout it goes...
I am Lulista and petista, more Lulista than petista, so much that I won't vote for in PT for the Senate and, maybe vote for in PCdoB for the Legislative Assembly.
I am speaking about a person that likes to participate and he/she has ideological and political beginnings, militating there is more than 30 years, direct or indirectly.
Our supporting structures are totally incipient, being excepted PT and lines of PMDB, besides the more parties to the left like PSTU, they are very few the ones that can be said that BELONG THE SUCH PARTY, affirmative changed for I am ADOPTED THE SUCH PARTY.
The filiation connotes a very big difference regarding the fact of BELONGING, that word demonstrates an interaction and absolute integration; even in the defeat or in the drop phases, what BELONGS, it is usually involved and Adopted him/it, desfilia, is going to another party and deteriorate the rest.
All that entangled caused by the verticalização and that absolute non sense of left parties supporting or being leaning for the of right, the socialists' fight against socialists, leaning both for liberal neo, it generates the crazy politician's samba.
Roberto Freire's deflection for the alliance between Usp and Coronelismo demonstrates that: or Bob Freire went mad once and for all he either didn't understand anything or he never had political conviction or it is bad character.
The supporting base is fundamental for being visceral, the fact of terms an increase in the base petista is extremely suggestive that, the party is more important than the men, as well as Botafogo it is me much more expensive than any player that has passed for there, of Cremilson to Garrincha.
The supporting colors in Brazil vary to each election, caused for a type of politician almost that exclusively of our country and unacceptable in most of the democracies of the universe: The PROFESSIONAL politician.
To understand that Ronaldinho Gaúcho leaves the Union for PSG and, then, to Barcelona it is easy. But to understand a champion of the Left to associate to Antonio Carlos Magalhães it is dose for elephant!
I won't stop speaking of the politicians petistas; many disappointed his/her electorate; however the militancy petista no, that continues strong with the party, to the American conservatives' that "stand" Bush example or even of the conscious Catholics that you/they "support" Priest Antonio Maria.
What happens in this election is of a limpidity and transparency that it gets to obscure the vision of the one that don't want see and, for that, a lot of times it can urge some.
Lula has, between petistas and lulistas, about thirty percent of the electorate. Faithful electorate in all of the participations of this as candidate to the Presidency of the Republic, that is peaceful point. In the same way he/she has 30 rejection percent, of people that NEVER VOTED FOR AND NOR they would VOTE FOR in him.
As well as we have flamenguistas, we have antiflamenguistas or anticorintianos. That denotes the existence of a group that rejects other, usually with more defined characteristics.
The anti-lulistas have several facets; from the left ultra it ties reactionary UDR.
The largest problem that I see, is not only the fact of Lula to have had a percentile acceptance practically equal the one that chose him/it in the second shift of the last election, being inside of the percentile of the ones that believed that he was the hope. Fact that, estatisticamente confirmed as having rendered.
Beyond of that fact, we have to total lack of appetite and the lack of identity of the anti-squid or anti-petistas with any candidate presented as alternative to Luis Ignácio.
Geraldo Alckmin, forgive me the inhabitants from São Paulo, no it wins election for mayor of Wait Happy, such the lack of attractions that doesn't have and nor it advances to try to have, that is inherent.
Chayote popsicle is a historical discovery of José Simão.
Cristovam Buarque is an I imitate of politician, as politician he/she is an excellent teacher and rector; as rector doesn't have the smallest twitch for the politics.
Heloisa Helena is a case to the part, it can get right in the wholesale but he/she gets lost in the retail; I don't know many men that would want to enjoy of a company as HH, that without being macho.
It is absurdly annoying with their hysterical attacks in response to any subject that wants to argue.
Excessive aggressiveness is as pernicious as for the apathy.
A mixed of Alckmin and HH maybe went something, politically, tragável, but that is hypotheses.
Besides, the lack of supporting structure in Brazil, in the visceral essence of the option done by the voter, BELONGING and not only adopted to a certain group, just like a soccer fan, it impedes the formalização and the evaluation of a Brazilian political reality.
The personalismo in the politics is harmful and that comes clear in almost all of the countries where it happens. But that inheritance advinda of the professionalism and of the identity lack supporting of our politicians, besides with the lack of fidelity supporting, crueller and harmful for the politics than the fidelity lack in the loving relationships; for being extremely harmful and immoral to the voter; that he/she is entitled the of feeling betrayed, that inheritance can be modified.
He/she will not be able to, it will owe; at the cost of we have not developed for the true democracy.
If we look for the soccer clubs, we will learn that, if a contracted athlete for the Palm trees, in the middle of the championship if it transfers for Corinthians, still free, it will be considered, the whole life as a traitor.
But, the politicians, besides the one of the left, absurdly on behalf of a "dignity" that you/they ignore, they make the same thing. And they believe to be unpunished.
The discredit that falls on the whole national political class has, in those imbecile, one of the great criminals.
The others are the economical interests, the political grupelhos of only one gentleman, without ideology; except the "rent" parties; but, in that case, we are working with other thing type: PROSTITUTION, and of the worst species, the PROSTITUTION OF THE CONSCIENCES.
