| description | Since independence in 1822, Brazilian history has been a succession of coups or coup attempts. On all these occasions, what was at stake was the attempt, on the part of the ruling classes and middle-class sectors, of establishing legal-political control over the State and preventing access by the working class to greater participation in national income and to the benefits of economic development, as well as delivering the country’s wealth to foreign capital. In this context, the hybrid warfare against the country is conducted in defense of the interests of major international companies, such as the main oil companies, anxious to appropriate the Brazilian oil wealth. And one of the main instruments of this hybrid warfare is the so-called lawfare, that is, the use of legislation and the judicial system to persecute and destroy political opponents. This tactic was evident against President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, sentenced to 12 years and 1 month in prison and imprisoned on April 7, 2018. The objective was obvious: to prevent him from running for the presidential elections of 2018 and destroy the PT and all the left. |

Desde a independência, em 1822, a história do Brasil tem sido uma sucessão de golpes de Estado ou de tentativas de golpe. Em todas essas ocasiões, o que está em jogo, por parte da classe dominante e de setores das classes médias, é a iniciativa de estabelecer controle jurídico-político sobre o Estado, impedindo que a classe trabalhadora tenha acesso a uma maior participação na renda nacional e aos benefícios do desenvolvimento, além de procurar entregar as riquezas nacionais para o capital externo. Nesse contexto, uma guerra híbrida está sendo travada contra o Brasil em favor dos interesses de grandes empresas estrangeiras, especialmente as maiores petrolíferas, que buscam se apropriar das riquezas do pré-sal. E um dos principais mecanismos desta guerra híbrida é o chamado lawfare, ou seja, a utilização de instrumentos legais e do sistema de justiça para perseguir e destruir adversários políticos. Essa tática está sendo obviamente usada contra o Presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, condenado a vários anos de prisão e impedido de concorrer à Presidência da República no pleito de outubro de 2018. 2020-01-21 2022-03-18T16:17:33Z 2022-03-18T16:17:33Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/13232 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61441 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/13232/8718 Copyright (c) 2020 Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista / UNESP Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 52 (2018): Dossiê: A crise brasileira e suas circunstâncias 1984-0241 0101-3459 |
