Opinion – Juca Kfouri: Normality is almost back

A dear friend, of those who lose their friendship, but don’t lose the joke, celebrated: “That’s good, from now on you’ll have to talk about football again”.

I hope he’s right.

I know very well that among the rare readers and rare readers there are those who are frustrated to find here more politics than football. Lately, it’s been too much.

The risk of seeing democracy defeated by barbarism, in fact, ended up responsible for the imbalance, which I hope will be unnecessary from now on, although politics is always present.

It is the usual thing: neutrality does not exist, impartiality, yes, it must be permanently sought.

Indicating the best candidate should be a common practice, without prejudice to the exercise of independent journalism.

Sometimes, and not that it has now been so, the choice is limited to the least bad, and, even when the nomination is the Democrat versus the Fascist, nothing prevents criticism of the chosen winner.

This is how it will be, in the exercise of Millôr Fernandes’ old maxim: “Journalism is opposition, the rest is a dry and wet store”.

Going to sleep, criticized by Arabs and Jews, Corinthians and Palmeiras, Grêmios and Colorados, establishes the tranquility of the fair line.

There is no need to remember the tight marking around both the organization of the 2014 World Cup and Rio-16, or about the performance of bad ministers of Sport during the PT governments.

The transparent option on the one hand when the country’s future is at stake cannot and should not be compared to the despicable practice, increasingly widespread in this Brazil where drug dealers smell and the poor vote for the executioner, of confusing journalism with advertising.

Definitely, choosing toothpaste has nothing to do with choosing the president, poor rhymes, different solutions.

Brazil has resumed the path of civilization, and the new government will err as usual, which is why it will be supervised.

There is no blank check like there is no free lunch.

It is important to emphasize the victory of freedom, joy, politics carried out with affection, concern for the excluded, the return of the poor to the budget, the exaltation of life.

Someone has rightly said that on the 30th of October the dead voted.

The creator of necropolitics in the country underestimated the families of almost 700 thousand victims of the pandemic mistreated by its author.

We look forward to what the three-time champion Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will do for the mistreated national sport, with so many names capable of implementing a true sports policy focused on practice as a public health factor.

There will be a lot to do, and the journey will be very difficult, the biggest challenge in the life of a 77-year-old man, the target of unspeakable injustices, who triumphed. “From now on, if they arrest me, I’m a hero. If they kill me, I’m a martyr. And if they let me go, I’m president again,” he said.

Yes, he said when coercively led to testify by the former doormat judge who became a minister, left with his tail between his legs, wanted to be president, went back to licking the boots of power by targeting the STF and replacing the false priest in the debate, but he will have content to be a senator for Paraná, despite having intended to be a senator for São Paulo.

Seeing her granddaughter Luiza cry with emotion at the party on Avenida Paulista is priceless.

Anyway, think of a happy citizen.

You just read it.
