We publish a statement of the Marxist
Left in Brazil (Esquerda Marxista), which is addressed to Lula and
the government, condemning their approach to the crisis in Bolivia
and calling on them to support the revolution.
A group of 113 professors, teachers,
lawyers, writers, artists and trade unionists, among them members of the Black
Socialist Movement and the Esquerda Marxista tendency, have signed an open
letter expressing their concern at the Federal Supreme Court's latest proposals
on "racial quotas".
