Brazil is not for beginners.

Brazil is not for beginners.

Murilo Oliveira

Brazil, July 19, 2022.

I don’t know who to attribute the famous phrase to: “Brazil is not for beginners”, but it is true in times like the present. In a sense it is not fair to attribute all errors or complexities to this or that. The point is that such a big split has been created within Brazilian society, similar to armed groups and intolerant of a certain figure, from both sides, that the facts and the course of time are speaking for themselves. We are not on an optimistic horizon.

I don’t intend to go into the merits of this or that, as I haven’t used to for many years. I have never joined any party, I have always tried to maintain optimism among the most diverse groups, to have a comprehensive and broad perspective. And I don’t want to give it up here. We should just point out that both political groups, which each day decant more and more into just two opposites and extremely hostile to each other, retain a dose of stubbornness so extreme that I repeat, we are not on an optimistic horizon.

Wanting to insist on the same political figure, worn out to the extreme, wanting to discredit the electoral process, leads the country to a more than worrying situation every day. It takes people with the ability to compromise, and that’s not what we see anywhere. Despite both sides acting like it’s a party, the parties aren’t ending well, and it doesn’t look like the so-called party of democracy is going to end well. Stubbornness has reached its limit of hostilities and risk for the country’s future at such a delicate moment for humanity. It is no longer acting as if they were circumstantial and circumventable differences of opinion, but as the path of no return to the irreconcilable.

This kind of perception, which is no longer characteristic of one or two, or one side or the other, but of a nation as a whole and its way of seeing the other, tends to what can be called a fatricide. When a people conflagrates internally, and brothers kill brothers. It’s the kind of perspective we have in Brazil today, the fatricide. It is possible and clear to see this, when, far beyond the parties they belong to or prefer, off-duty cops shoot other off-duty cops. It is a very serious symptom. And it’s not just, and it’s not the privilege of a group, but it sees itself escalating to the highest levels of power in the country. Between the Executive Power and the Judiciary, it has reached a level that today, talking about this to Ambassadors from different parts of the world, less than a preparatory act for any reprehensible attitude, must be understood by the world as lighting a great warning sign in relation to that country immediately.

It is necessary that we have compromise parties at all levels of thought and political action in the country immediately, from a simple child’s birthday, to the highest deal between the powers of the republic, and in the consultation of peoples, with the utmost urgency.
