Professors at prestigious universities in the United States have expressed concern about Brazil’s failures in many areas, primarily in the environmental and human rights sectors, and they highlight the risks that democracy carries over in the largest Latin American economy. President Jair Bolsonaro’s “black history” and lack of respect for the planet are some of the main problems pointed out by academics, who signed a dossier sent to the White House on Thursday morning (02/04). The document recommends the President of the United States, Joe Biden, to free the agreements and negotiations that were being made by former President Donald Trump with the government and the Brazilian representative.
In interview with The blog and to Post Office, Many experts believe that it is difficult to pinpoint the same problem for Bolsonaro, who has publicly defended the oppressors from military dictatorships. “I think, internationally, the main problem of the current Brazilian government is its deep history in relation to the environment,” said Sidney Chalhoub, a professor of history at Harvard University.
He said, “It is difficult for me to mention just one challenge or even to identify the biggest problem of the Bolsanaro government, because the damage is very wide. A general lack of respect for the planet, for human rights and failure to meet the most basic needs of the population affects the Brazilian government and its policies, affecting human dignity and respect for the country’s population, “Erica Rob Larkins, Professor at University of San Diego, California (USA).
Larkin and Chalhou are among the representatives of academics and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who have signed The 31-page document was sent to Binde and US officials. The dossier, “President Biden and the New Government’s Recommendations about Brazil”, prepared by the United States Network for Democracy in Brazil (USNDB), points to the main problems and failures of the Bolsonaro administration in many areas as well Anxiety also shows. Resolution of Integrated Health System (SUS).
For example, James Green, a Brazilian history professor at Brown University, assessed that Bolsonaro Is becoming a major global enemy. Professor André Pagliarini in the Latin American Studies Program at Dartmouth College said that Paulo Geddes’ economic agenda is harmful.
“Fiery rhetoric”
Sydney Chalhaw deleted President Jair Bolsonaro’s speech and his “raging rhetoric against science and climate change”. “The disintegration of environmental agencies and policies, the rapid deforestation and the increasing vulnerability of the indigenous population, all of these factors combined have damaged the country’s image in ways that are difficult to reverse in the short term.”
The highly regarded Harvard University historian said that concern with democracy in the United States was due to former President Donald Trump’s strategies to undermine the electoral process, which ended in an invasion of distant members of the Capitol’s authority. , The seat of the North American Parliament. American. For him, these facts should mean that the current US administration should focus more on democracy and the rule of law at the international level. Chalho argued, “The President of Brazil is already imitating Trump, indicating the unfounded claim that there will be electoral fraud in the presidential election in 2022. This is another movement that will isolate Brazil.”
In the historian’s assessment, Bolsonaro, in a letter sent late to Bideno to congratulate him on the victory in the election, said that the friction between the two during election campaigning should not calm down. “It is difficult to believe that such a strategy by the Brazilian government would work. The continuity of cooperation between the existing governments of the two countries depends on a significant change in Brazilian policies in the two areas mentioned above. It is difficult to see ”, he insisted.
