Brasil, América Latina y el Caribe resisten al fascismo de Jair Bolsonaro

Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean (ATALC) condemns the election of Jair Bolsonaro, characterizing his leadership as fascist and neoliberal. The statement warns that his presidency threatens the rights of indigenous people, black communities, and activists, while serving the interests of transnational corporations, particularly in the oil and agribusiness sectors. It links the political situation in Brazil to similar patterns of depoliticization and violence seen in Colombia and Honduras, and expresses concern that Bolsonaro's victory increases the risk of a US-led military invasion of Venezuela.

• The election of Jair Bolsonaro is viewed as a victory for the 'ultra-derecha fascista' (fascist far-right) and neoliberalism, posing a direct threat to the rights of marginalized groups including indigenous communities, black communities, women, youth, and public servants in health and education.
• Bolsonaro's political trajectory is seen as a continuation of the 2016 coup against Dilma Rousseff, aimed at dismantling social policies to serve transnational corporate interests, specifically those in agribusiness and the oil industry.
• The document asserts that methods used to suppress popular participation and distort reality in Colombia and Honduras were mirrored in Brazil, aided by certain church sectors.
• The victory of the right wing in Brazil is expected to increase the threat of a US military invasion of Venezuela, which is allegedly supported by the Colombian government.
