A group of businessmen, bankers and jurists signed a manifesto organized by the USP Law School (University of São Paulo) in defense of democracy and the Brazilian electoral process. Among the signatories are Roberto Setubal and Pedro Moreira Salles, from Itaú, Horácio Lafer Piva, from Klabin, and Fabio Barbosa, from Natura.
The text is a response to President Jair Bolsonaro’s (PL) frequent attacks on electronic voting machines and the voting system. The document says that this is a moment “of immense danger to democratic normality” and that threats of rupture are intolerable.
In this Wednesday’s episode (27), Café talks with Fábio Zanini, editor of the Panel column, about the weight of businessmen who sign the manifesto and what effects the movement of this group can have on the electoral race.
