Pesquisadores da Universidade de Harvard e do MIT divulgam carta em apoio a Lula no 2º turno

CARTA DE PESQUISADORA/ES DE HARVARD E MIT EM APOIO AO CANDIDATO LULA NO 2º TURNO DAS ELEIÇÕES BRASILEIRAS

Somos pesquisadora(e)s, professora(e)s e aluna(o)s associada(o)s à Harvard University e ao Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) e elaboramos esta carta para publicizar o nosso apoio ao candidato Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva no segundo turno das eleições brasileiras.

Ao longo dos 4 anos do governo Bolsonaro, o país passou por uma série de retrocessos democráticos com o desmonte de políticas públicas em diversas áreas – como saúde, educação, assistência social, meio ambiente, economia, planejamento, desenvolvimento urbano, cultura, política indigenista, política externa, entre tantos outros setores da administração pública.

As propostas do Lula reúnem medidas importantes para a reconstrução do país, tanto do ponto de vista das políticas públicas, quanto no que se refere ao respeito às instituições democráticas, à ciência e à transparência na gestão pública. Temas essenciais de seu plano de governo incluem o desenvolvimento econômico, o combate à fome, a preservação ambiental, o maior investimento e o aprimoramento das políticas de saúde, educação e assistência social, o combate à corrupção, a promoção dos direitos humanos, o maior investimento em inovação, ciência e tecnologia.

O momento atual é de extrema importância para o futuro do Brasil. Com a eleição de Lula, é possível abrir novos caminhos e possibilidades para a reconstrução do país – dentro das regras democráticas. Por esses motivos, declaramos publicamente nosso apoio ao candidato Lula, na esperança de que o país possa avançar na direção do desenvolvimento sustentável, com inclusão social, justiça ambiental, respeito aos direitos humanos e à ciência.

We are researchers, professors, and students associated with Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). We write this letter to affirm our support for Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the second round of Brazilian elections.

Over the Bolsonaro government’s last four years, Brazil has experienced a series of democratic setbacks. These include the dismantling of institutions and the elimination of regulations that protect health, human rights, and the environment, and ensure access to education and good jobs. Across all issues, we’ve witnessed an anti-democratic tilt in foreign and domestic affairs.

Lula’s proposals bring together important measures to undo these harms, and to take steps to ensure that democracy, public health, the environment, and human rights are protected and strengthened by strong institutions in the future.

His proposals include effective plans related to: employment, food security, environmental protection, fighting corruption, public health, education, human rights, and the investment in science and technology.

This is a critical moment for the future of Brazil. With the election of Lula, it is possible to open new paths and possibilities for the reconstruction of the country–within democratic rules. For these reasons, we publicly declare our support for Lula’s candidacy, hoping the country can move towards sustainable development, with social, environmental inclusion, respect for human rights and science.

We are researchers, and this letter represents exclusively our own opinion, and not that of the institutions to which we are associated with
