BRAZIL’S Communist Party (PCB) issued a call for democratic unity and street mobilisations against the “genocidal policy” of far-right President Jair Bolsonaro and his attacks on social rights and handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
In a lengthy statement the party highlighted the disastrous consequences of Mr Bolsonaro’s failure to deal with the spread of coronavirus with more than 55,000 deaths, a rate of more than 1,000 a day.
It warned that the pandemic has disproportionately affected workers and in particular “black and poor people on the peripheries” who live in “precarious conditions in slums and proletarian neighbourhoods, in large agglomerations, without access to sanitation and running water.”
