Around 3 thousand non-governmental organisations, collectives and national and international social movements have repudiated the candidate Jair Bolsonaro\u2019s statement that if elected he will \u201cput an end to activism in Brazil\u201d. This remark was made by the presidential candidate on Sunday, 7 October after the results of the first round were announced.<\/p>\n

In a letter published on Monday, 15 October the organisations state that Bolsonaro\u2019s comment is an affront to the Federal Constitution that ensures the right to freedom of association and assembly. \u201cThis is an unacceptable threat to our freedom to act. Not only will the lives of millions of activists and the work of 820 thousand organisations be affected, but also Brazilian democracy. And there is no democracy without the defence of rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group highlighted the importance of \u201ca vibrant civil society that is active and free to denounce abuses, celebrate victories and advance in terms of rights,\u201d as well as gaining rights and improved living conditions for the people and asked for \u201cderision of social movements and civil society to be considered by every voter when they are deciding how to cast their vote\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrganisations and movements are strategic players in contributing to the formulation of public policy and in elaborating important laws in Brazil.\u201d States the document, citing laws achieved through pressure from activist organisations, such as in the areas of criminalization of racism and violence against women. And concludes: \u201csilencing civil society, as Jair Bolsonaro has said he will do, is a recurring practice in authoritarian regimes. We cannot accept that Brazil comes to this.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Ipea data (Institute for Applied Economic Research) mentioned in the letter that in 2017 there were 820 thousand NGOs in Brazil. The list of organisations, collectives and movements that signed the protest, include organisations from environmental defence, human rights and education.<\/p>\n<\/div>
