By allowing the suspension of employment contracts for four months without pay, Bolsonaro deliberately favored employers at the expense of workers. This perverse measure will further aggravate the crisis, pushing us towards an unprecedented social catastrophe.
Amid the storm of uncertainty we are facing, the president abandons the most fragile part of the Brazilian social structure. He announces a series of measures to support businesses, the release of funds by the BNDES (Brazilian Development Bank), and other favors, while completely abandoning the generally disadvantaged.
As if the crumbling hospitals, precarious sanitation, stagnant wages, deficient public transportation, outright unemployment, and the threat of the virus weren't enough, Bolsonaro has also created the absurd figure of the unpaid employee. An aberration of obscurantist Brazil – now also in its zeal for basic social rights.
Clearly, the president's actions aim to worsen the Brazilian social situation; to create a disturbing class conflict in order to implement his autocratic power project. Each day, the country moves a little further towards complete misrule, when the conditions will be created for an attempt to subjugate the democratic rule of law. The institutions need to react, invalidating the actions of a president in utter delirium.
