Uribe and the conversion of Clovis Rossi

ALTAMIRO BORGES

It has already been some time since the journalist Clóvis Rossi, member of the Publishing Council of Folha of Sao Paulo, surprised more attentive readers with the posture adopted in outstanding episodes of national and world-wide politics. No one understands the conversion of an intellectual who contributed to the struggle for the re-democratization of the country and in the criticism of the Davos and neo liberal globalization to his current positions more to the right, pampered by the Toucans, demons and the same types. This change reached its height in the recent invasion of Ecuador. The columnist so admired in the past, left any neutrality to be added to the reactionary chorus of the media in the absolution of the criminal Álvaro Uribe.

Bitter speech

In a bitter speech more appropriate for pitbulls Diogo Mainardi and Reinaldo Azevedo, demanded that the government take the hardest position against the Armed Revolutionary Force of Colombia (FARC). “It is going to have to be made clear that Brazil can and must be neutral between the two neighbors, but cannot nor must not be neutral between the Colombian (legitimate) government and FARC (delinquent group)... FARC has abandoned any whim of political action to the armed force road and they have become delinquents who live on drug trafficking and on money collected with kidnapping.”

Adopting the diversionary tactics of Uribe and Bush, he still took advantage to attack the “untimely“ Chávez and to criticize the government of Rafael Correa, “Colombia invading Ecuadorian territory is reprehensible. But it is worthwhile, even for Brazil, Carlos Malamud says: “The frontier government of Colombia was doing their work, protecting the borders and preventing the groups of delinquents from passing freely by its territories, so that actions such as those of Colombia are not necessary.” Is this a justification for Bush and Uribe’s “preventive war” against Brazil? If the Colombian government itself does not manage to discover and defeat FARC, which controls 40% of the territory, because President Correa would have all the conditions to “protect its borders”?
