WILL BRAZIL FOLLOW VENEZUELA. Now finally the regime of Maduro was able to get the enduring opposition leaders to agree on something. They will allow a UN-managed agency to finance food, health and education programs for the poor. But will the US and European governments let Venezuelan assets they have frozen to help fund them?
If they do, they actually help this socialist regime to keep its grip on power. In fact, the Biden administration responded to the agreement by letting the US oil giant Chevron pump Venezuelan oil. Instead of pumping the US’ own oil, which would vastly improve the US and world economy.
Will Brazil follow Venezuela in installing a socialist regime and holding increasingly phony elections? For both the US and European nations have said that the 2019 Venezuelan election was fraudulent. But they don’t want anyone to suggest that the recent Brazilian election may have involved fraud too.
Mass protest movement in Brazil
However, a massive movement in Brazil itself does contend there was voter fraud. Farmers are blocking all ports from exporting agricultural goods. Truckers have blocked all highways. Many protesters are calling on the military to intervene.
Because their Constitution’s Article 142 gives the military the role of “guaranteeing constitutional powers.” They may do so under the “supreme authority of the president.” Will Bolsonaro and the military take that step?
So far Bolsonaro has supported peaceful by those who consider the electoral process unjust. The Electoral Court—led by his long-term enemy Alexandre de Moraes—has denied his appeals. Now Bolsonaro’s party has requested the voiding of electronically-cast votes. The party cites the alleged malfunction of 279,300 voting machines.
If the election results stand, a socialist-leaning government of Lula da Silva will take power. Will it then go the way of Venezuela in staging fraudulent elections, perpetrating its power, and impoverishing its citizens? And getting help from Western democracies powers to finance socialist programs it can’t afford? Let’s not allow our democracies to go bankrupt by financing bankrupt socialism.
