The PSTU repudiates the shots by extreme-right groups against the PT convoy on March 27. We repudiate these groups\u2019 attacks and physical aggression, and we demand investigation and punishment for the ones responsible.<\/em>

\nWe have no political agreement at all with the PT and Lula\u2019s campaign throughout the country. It began in the North-East of the country, next to known figures from the MDB and well-known colonels like Renan Calheiros.
\nThe speech of \u201cdefense of democracy\u201d is a badly-disguised electoral campaign of the PT program. Unlike other left sectors, we do not adhere to this \u201cbroad front\u201d whose goals are purely electoral, in favor of a program that is more of the same \u2013 of the previous and current governments.
\nThere was no \u201ccoup\u201d against the PT administration. There were, though, several coups against workers: from the tax adjustment that began in Dilma\u2019s term to the several attacks under Temer\u2019s presidency. Lula\u2019s electoral campaign defends a re-issue of such program and project.
\nWe do not agree, either, with \u201cleft\u201d sectors that think that Lula should not be investigated or tried for corruption. Guaranteeing his right of defense, he has to be, yes, investigated and tried. Before this, we do not participate in events \u201cin defense of democracy\u201d neither in defense of Lula.
\nNevertheless, the PT has the right to demonstrate, as anyone else in the country. In this regard, they have the right to carry out actions, including those that we do not make part of and whose goals we completely reject.
\nWe will not be connivent with actions and attempts of repressing the right of free demonstration. Extreme-right wing groups, \u201cfascist-like\u201d and linked to Bolsonaro, the MBL, Revoltados Online, etc.; those who use physical violence, must be strongly rejected, just like gunmen and para-military forces that attack activists.
\nWe repudiate any attack to political, social and even cultural manifestations, like the one that took place recently at the Queermuseu [Queer Museum] in Porto Alegre.
\nFrom this point of view, we reinforce our repudiation and demand immediate investigation and punishment to the executors of the shots against the convoy. Furthermore, we consider that the sectors that have their right to free manifestation repressed or attacked have full right to self-defense, even more if we talk about segments of the mass\u2019 movement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
