Title: Threats to Brazilian democracy and the authoritarian and violent legacy of the dictatorship
March 6th at 4pm in 802 IAB
Columbia University, New York, NY
Brazilian democracy is going through its worst moment since the re-democratization that took place after the end of the military dictatorship in 1985. Attacks and harassment against the press, teachers, social movements and human rights defenders; destabilisation and dismantling of state commissions, councils and bodies that enable the participation and influence of civil society in the construction and implementation of public policies; the growth of police violence, from apology to torture and violence, the militarization of politics and life; in short, we live under a government that not only does not respect democratic institutions and life but is systematically attacking and destroying them. The Bolsonaro government interrupted and dismantled the commissions and mechanisms of states that worked to promote Memory, Truth and Reparation to the victims of the military dictatorship and who were also beginning to make progress in the struggle for justice and for the reform of the violent and authoritarian institutions that we inherited from the dictatorship, such as the military police. I would therefore like to present an overview of this whole context from the perspective of those who suffered the violence of the dictatorship, but also of those who built one of the main organizations, the Vladimir Herzog Institute, which is fighting today in the country to prevent the dictatorship from returning to win democracy.
