It's interesting to everyone, and particularly interesting why, uh, that, uh, the, The Guardian is writing about it.

They're talking about political analyst Thomas Traumann, who was spokesman for the, uh, former left-wing president Dilma Rousseff, believed Lula's third administration had ignored a large chunk of society that was unsatisfied over economic issues or because of controversies involving the Supreme Court.

Now, what do we see here in Europe? We see several people who are dissatisfied with the status quo, and they're voicing their dissatisfaction, and the response of the establishment is to say, "You're a far right-wing extremist."

But what also exists is an, is a segment, a, a very big segment of the population that isn't fascist, it just wants a better future, and it doesn't want their country to be destroyed or liquidated." And yes, I'm, I'm happy to see governments who are playing this despicable card losing.
