Left militant from the student movement, twice elected state representative and twice Congresswoman, Luciana Genro is today one of the leading and well-known up great names PSOL, single party of leftist opposition to the federal government with representation in Congress. Being the daughter of Governor Tarso Genro (PT), you can not run two years ago the city of Porto Alegre, but after the presidential campaign of 2014, want, in two years, trying again be mayor of the state capital. In the following interview, Luciana Genro talks about the main political up great guidelines of the country, their positions and the PSOL, the presidential up great campaign and the next steps of the left opposition struggle.
Well, you must see that it is difficult to maintain an equivalent visibility to an election campaign. Even with all the difficulties we faced in the campaign, with financial resources and the space itself that the mainstream media has given us, even so the visibility is much larger than in normal times. So there's no way to keep, but what I'm doing now is seeking to capitalize on this popularity that the PSOL won, especially with young people, and seek to bring people to the party. So I have given talks at universities, made meetings, also participated in social movements, especially in São Paulo with the MTST ... here in Porto Alegre also had movements that aim to show that the PSOL is not a party only to election, is a party It has as main objective to organize workers, up great organize youth to fight for their rights, and that the electoral process is part of that struggle. up great
This is difficult to answer now, because depend on the PSOL that decision, not me. But, as it depends upon me, I am quite willing to continue fulfilling this national role. For me it was an extraordinary experience and I think that helped form the PSOL as a party with identity with the youth and with the demands that have surfaced in June 2013. It is important that this be continued. You will be my name or not, will be a decision of the party later.
It has always been an important agenda, so much to me as to our bench MPs, mainly from the performance of Jean Wyllys, but all our members have always been very present in this LGBT struggle. And I think Brazil is in civilizational levels very insufficient up great with regard to LGBT rights. Including in relation to our neighbors, such as Argentina and Uruguay. So there is a great space achievements that are possible to obtain. Even with a Congress where the reactionary bench is quite large, I believe it is possible to move from the pressure of the struggle, the movement stops as LGBT, bringing together thousands of people throughout Brazil, supporters and sympathizers of LGBT agendas, beyond themselves up great ... then I believe it has room for gains. And we will continue up great there in the House of Representatives, fighting for equal civil marriage, by Bill John Nery - gender identity - for the criminalization of homophobia, up great and even fighting for the government to implement programs in schools to combat homophobia. Criminalization is important up great because some sectors that have already encrusted this evil of homophobia, it is difficult to get them out of this prejudice. So you have to criminalize. But it is very important to education, to which we already educate children in a diverse environment, respect, and for that the schools are very important. So we will fight for the anti-homophobia program in schools, which Rousseff suspended in his first government under pressure from fundamentalist benches, return to debate and be implemented.
There was a criticism of leftist sectors the application of PSOL about an alleged lack of class content, placing more surface issues instead of facing the theme of the class struggle under capitalism. That happened?
Who says it's because it did not follow debates, did not follow my interviews, did not follow the PSOL programs on television. up great The axis of our policy was precisely the complaint of the economic model of capitalism, public debt that enslaves the country, allocating 40% of the budget for the payment of interest, our defense of the need for an audit, the suspension of debt payments, social struggles, social flags as the house, up great I was the only candidate explicitly mentioned by MTST in a political-election document as an advocate of the agenda of the house ... the agenda of health, education ... what happened is that these themes Human rights, such as the LGBT theme, the theme of women, the issue of drugs, as are topics that are not normally discussed by any candidate who has the audacity to treat them just standing out in their function.
