In the text "feeble-minded & idiots," Valter Orchard, leader of PT, reacted at the end of 2007 to a column of Clóvis Rossi that attacked the "ideological patrols of the left" and defended Pablo Zotollo, president of Philips and leader of the coup-minded Cansei. The reply helps to decipher the conversion. "Who seems to have fear of the ideological patrol in Brazil is not the right, but yes a part of the intellectual'. He does not like to be considered of the right, nor conservative. But neither does he like to be considered of the left. He prefers to be above things, not having to side or to do politically difficult options... The crisis of socialism made things easy for this type of “intellectual.“ And the political concessions of PT seem to have made this `intellectual' conclude that he can also do a chorus with people of the right '. It is remarkable the anger with which he does this."
