The local correspondentANDFrom the Federal District (DF) conducted research and interviews with high school students to address the effects of the application of new high school (nor) in universities, as well as the social profile of students. The research revealed, among other data, that students suffer from dissatisfaction with the structure of the school and lack of stimulus for the study. High school high schools are in the third year of high school and study in the morning shift, most of them being students at the Gisno Educational Center, but also interviewed students from the West Sector High School and High School Center at Asa Norte - CEAN.

When asked about the structure of their school, 56% classified as “median”, 36.4% as “good” and 9.1% as “terrible”. And about the lack of teachers, Gisno students were emphatic about the lack of philosophy and physical education teachers.

The DF budget for the year 2024 was R $ 61.1 billion, which comprised the proper revenues of the DF and the transfer of the Constitutional Fund. Although it means an increase of about 5% compared to the 2023 budget, the Ibaneis Rocha (MDB) government has decided to prioritize the transfer of funds to private initiative rather than investing in the development of state public policies.

According to the article in Jornal Brasil de Fato, between 2023 and 2024 there was an increase in the number of education resources passed on to private initiative. The transfer of funds to kindergarten entities, such as the agreed day care centers, jumped from $ 20 million to $ 358 million.

When asked if they felt stimulated to study, 45.5% said there is no stimulus for the study, 36.4% claim to have stimulus for the study, while 18.2% could not give their opinion.

Among the reasons for studying, interpersonal ties are highlighted, such as family stimuli, colleagues or teachers. On the other hand, demotivation is most often justified by the quality of content or disconnecting the content with the reality of students. There were many complaints about the lack of teachers, but the most recurring complaints were about the "lack of meaning" of the elective and the changes imposed by neither.

One student stated that “what motivates me a lot is the teachers who help a lot in forming a critical sense”, helping students understand the subjects, but ”the new high school demotivates me on certain occasions, such as having important hours replaced by replaced by trails and elective. ” Another student added that “with this new high school, we students almost do not have classes. I say, really necessary classes. This demotivates anyone. ”

The removal of the scientific contents of Nem, putting in its place the technicist and “meaningless” content, as several students call it directly interferes with the access of young people from the working class to public higher education. Since they will not have a general knowledge to prepare properly for the entrance exams.

Faced with the lack of teachers and demotivation, the students were asked about the desire to enter the university and if the past content at school gives confidence to make the entrance exam. Most want to take a college degree, going from sociology, psychology, law, and T.I. but have not reported that they are not confident for the entrance exams. One student stated that "some teachers help pass preparatory content," but the other subjects do not help, they are like "matters thrown on top of each other."

63.6% of students said they do not like the subjects they need to do at school and that the current model applied in their schools have not helped to develop their critical sense. “Since the new high school, I feel that the important subjects have lost space and that now I only go to school to gain presence. It simply gives the impression that we go to school to copy bullshit all day, only shallow content, as if I didn't have time to deepen, ”said one of the students.

Students also took advantage of the questionnaire to express their desire for change. Changes in the relationship between the school board with the students; students have more active voice at school; Elective withdrawal and replacement with scientific content, because, as one of the students reported, they are “taking valuable content that could be learned.”

"We do not have our freedom of choice, we are in a situation where what was supposed to be something preparatory to our lives is being futile," said one of the students about Nem. Another also states that "the quality of education falls more and more, especially in schools that cannot reproduce the model of the" new "high school, and it turns out to be a mess."

Another third year student states that "many teachers and students are dissatisfied with the 'new' high school, as they cannot complete their content concretely and often impair other people's learning." And I concluded that “the new high school was a very poorly worked and very poorly applied system, the removal of it would be a great favor made to students and teachers.”

One student further states that “it is my last year, it is no use trying to change what was done in my life. It is irreversible. All the time and effort spent for nothing. ” This pessimism is a general feeling. One of the students in Gisno also reported to the correspondent site ofANDthat she feels like a laboratory rat. “They test us, and we who are as a generation without study, who can't pass the entrance exam. Then you will see that it goes wrong, cancel the neither, but our generation will still suffer from the lack of content. ”

Other students from the same school, when asked about the entrance exams, reported believing that this year's grades may have a dizzying drop due to lack of content. This situation may also get worse if ENEM is changed, also disagree, which will cause students to have to take specific content for their courses, even if they have no resemblance to those offered in the limited formative itineraries that each school Offer.

The Montes Claros New Democracy Support Committee has been conducting a series of sales stools from newspaper and revolutionary books at Unimontes (Montes Claros State University). Since February 28 there have been three, one per week, and sales have been a success. The Banquinha comprises books sold at the and Site store, such as: The Communist Party Manifesto, citations of President Mao Tsetung, works on the origin of female oppression and his participation in the revolutionary struggle, biographies of communist revolutionary, works of the great Lenin works , books on the ongoing popular war in India, among others.

Banquinha has served to raise the contact of the Support Committee with the students, who has brought complaints to the brigade members. Especially as the RU line, which has been crowded since the beginning of the year, a problem that has affected the classes and the stages of many students. Moreover, it has been possible to contribute to students' recreational activities, such as collective coffees between courses and other activities. Undoubtedly, it has been quite a way to raise the political organization of students at the university.

On the 6th, there was a special stool of sales of books related to female oppression, as part of the celebration of International Proletarian Women's Day. Next to the Banquinha, a panel was placed with the heroines of the international proletariat (to check if they are from the international proletariat, because there are heroines that are not from the proletariat), which caught the attention of a large amount of students and intellectuals and allowed a discussion about The importance of the date.

City hall, councilors and the opportunism of the union believe they can cover the category in some way, due to their pressing living conditions. But the strike movement has crashed into the rot of this old democracy, which does not guarantee constitutional basic rights, and is exposing its "representatives", from the mayor to the judiciary, who also served nothing to make the end of the last of the last. strike.

Teachers also performed an act in front of the Municipal Secretariat of Education, on March 8, and discussed support to administratives. At the time, they also expressed support for the heroic Palestinian people. And on Thursday, 03/14, teachers participated in a demonstration with the administratives in the Municipal Palace.

Aparecida de Goiânia education workers approve strike and are criminalized

In Aparecida de Goiânia, educational teachers and administratives last week approved the administrative strike for the payment of late wages, and marked a new assembly of teachers for the 14th. In the meantime, even before the start of the strike, the judiciary decreed it illegal And it imposed a fine of $ 50,000 a day to the Sintego, which immediately called the administratives on the 13th to suspend the strike. The workers decided to stop schools all Tuesdays and Thursday fairs until the City Hall pays back salaries and other rights. A worker said:

“I'm really very outraged by the situation and I'm not taking it anymore. This union issue, City Hall… The city has no common sense, guys, if she had, she had already paid us. The question is as follows, to soften the situation, I'm in the strike, I'm already starting today, and I don't give up. But talking to the girls, this issue of legality, I support their speech, we make this state of strike… (when) arrives on 3, ‘Oh, they will not pay’, that's really strike, the story is over! We will not let (inaudible) deceive us, deceive with words. ”

Teachers at UEG have conquest despite criminalization

In the first week of March, the servers of the Professor Niso Prego Residential Reception Unit, a public institution in the city of Goiânia responsible for the reception of children to adolescents, were surprised by the decision of the Child and Youth Judge - Maria do Socorro de Sousa Afonso da Silva - to provisionally interdict the unit. The judge's decision was made after the “finding of several inadequacies in the physical, administrative and staff and auxiliary staff” of the institution. As a result of this action, the 16 children between 0 and 12 years old who were welcomed in the unit were transferred abruptly to a philanthropic/religious hosting institution recently opened in Goiânia, owned by the evangelical church “vine”.

The Professor Niso Prego Residential Reception Unit is the only public shelter in the city of Goiânia, responsible for welcoming children from 0 to 12 years old victims of violations of rights and/or that have been taken from family life for judicial determination, is also the only unit which performs the reception of emergency children and adolescents, in cases resulting from emergency actions of the Guardianship Council, having the ability to welcome up to 40 children.

Given this scenario, Niso Prego servers decided to unite in defense of unity, and will increase the fight against the neglect of the mayor of Goiânia, Rogério Cruz (Republicans).

Testimonials of former commanders Freire Gomes, from the Army, and Baptista Junior, from the Air Force, released today revealed details of the alleged institutional rupture plan set up by Jair Bolsonaro. The new information revealed point to the role of ministers such as Paulo Sergio Nogueira and the former Mandanician's advisors and ministers, such as Filipe Martins and Anderson Torres. The statements were released after a breach of confidentiality by the Supreme Court Minister, Alexandre de Moraes.

Freire Gomes's version

The then army commander Marco Antonio Freire Gomes detailed meetings he had with Bolsonaro and how the then president presented the plan to consummate the military coup.

Gomes admitted that he attended a meeting at the Dawn Palace on December 7, 2022. The trip was at the invitation of the then Minister of Defense, Paulo Sergio Nogueira. According to Gomes, the presidency advisor, Filipe Martins, read at the meeting "the" considerations "that would be the 'legal grounds' of the said draft of the coup."

The general also admitted that Bolsonaro presented different hypotheses for carrying out a coup, which would be consummated from the "use of legal institutes" such as the Guarantee of Law and Order (GLO), State of Defense or State of Siege. The execution of the plan would be a reaction to the result of the 2022 election.

In another meeting, on December 14, in which the three commanders participated again, General Paulo Sergio Nogueira resubmitted the draft. It contained plans for a State of Defense decree and the creation of an Electoral Regularity Commission.

In cited excerpts, the statement collected by the Federal Police states that Freire Gomes “replied that he recalls meetings at the Alvorada Palace, after the second round of the elections, in which the then President of the Republic Jair Bolsonaro presented hypotheses of use of legal institutes such as GLO, state of defense and state of siege in relation to the electoral process ”.

Implications

The testimony of Freire Gomes implies a series of figures. Among them is former Justice Minister Anderson Torres. According to Gomes, the decree found in the house of the former head of the ministry had the same content as the one debated with Bolsonaro and, later, with Nogueira. For Gomes, Torres' role was to provide legal advice on the coup decree so that it would be viable.

Paulo Sérgio Nogueira was also one of those implicated, and he was on worse ground than before, since Freire Gomes' testimony is the first to reveal the participation of the minister general in meetings with members of the military leadership to discuss the draft of the coup.

The general also pointed to the then commander of the Navy, Almir Garnier. According to Gomes, he remembers the admiral putting his troops at Bolsonaro's disposal.

Finally, the former Army commander again gave versions that contradict the testimonials of the former commander of land operations, Estevam Theophilo. Theophilo was one of the participants of the Bolsonarist nucleus, and would have the function of coordinating the troops, especially the "special force" during the culmination of the coup. In his statement, Gomes said he was "uncomfortable" when he learned that Estevam met with Bolsonaro. However, Estevam told the PF that he only met Bolsonaro by determination of his own commander, which was contradicted by Gomes.

Baptista Junior's testimony

The former commander of the Air Force, Air Force Brigadier Carlos de Almeida Baptista Junior, also gave more details about the rupture plan moved by the extreme right, as well as the reaction of the commanders at the time.

The brigadier also confirmed that Admiral Garnier Santos made the troops available to the then-president so that he could remain in office through a military coup. According to Baptista, Almir was the only commander who placed himself in this way.

Baptista Júnior also made statements that corroborate the role of Anderson Torres as a kind of legal advisor to the rupture, to assist Bolsonaro "in relation to the legal measures that the Executive branch could adopt in the scenario discussed." According to him, the former Minister of Justice participated in a meeting with the commanders of the Forces and sought to "point out legal aspects that would support the exceptional measures (GLO and State of Defense)."

Unlike Gomes, who detailed two meetings, Baptista said he had participated, in “more than five or six times”, in meetings with the former Mandant. Some of the meetings were summoned and occurred "without minutes and immediately." The invitation was always made by the then Minister of Defense, Paulo Sérgio Nogueira.

In one of these meetings, the then Attorney General of the Union, Bruno Bianco, participated. According to the report, Bianco was asked by Bolsonaro "if there would be any act that could be done against the result of the elections." The answer was that the election would have taken place "legally, within the legal aspects".

In the same vein, the military stated that Bolsonaro knew that the Election Transparency Commission did not identify any fraud in the 2022 election, but still maintained his criticism of the electoral system.

It is now known, with evidence, that these criticisms were part of Bolsonaro's plan to, through the demoralization of the ballot box, advance the agitation of the extreme right to put the election in check and move its rupture. References to this plan were made in meetings with ministers and military personnel in July 2022, recorded by Mauro Cid and released in the press last month.

In addition, Baptista Junior insisted on the version that Gomes tried to "convince the then president not to use the aforementioned institutes [legal, the GLO, State of Defense or State of Siege]." The brigadier stated that he also informed Bolsonaro that none of the instruments chosen would serve to keep him in office after the beginning of 2023, with the inauguration of Luiz Inácio. Bolsonaro's reaction was "scared."

In one of the discussions, Freire Gomes would also have threatened to arrest Bolsonaro in case of rupture, according to Baptista.

"In one of the meetings of the Commanders of the Forces with the then President of the Republic, after the second round of the elections, after the President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro, raised the hypothesis of attacking the democratic regime, through some institutes provided for in the Constitution (GLO or State of Defense or State of Siege), the then commander of the Army, General Freire Gomes, stated that if he attempted such an act, he would have to arrest the President of the Republic," Baptista Júnior reported.

Bolsonaro was not the only one who was frightened by the unfolding situation. In his testimony, the soldier stated that Augusto Heleno was "astonished" when he heard from Baptista that the Air Force would not participate in the rupture. After the scare, Heleno would have "talked about it".

Garnier Santos supported camps to 'support Freire Gomes'

Although he chose to be silent during the testimony to the PF, the words of Admiral Garnier Santos have surfaced in recent days.

According to the CNN communication monopoly, Garnier Santos has reported nearby figures who signed the November 11th grade in 2022 in support of the camps in front of the barracks to support Freire Gomes, as part of a "agreed" between the commanders.

The admiral's justifications would be that Freire Gomes was under pressure to demobilize the camps, and then commanders Garnier Santos and Baptista Junior would have signed the document. In Garnier's words, the movement was to "support" and "prestige" Gomes.

The document called the camps "popular demonstrations" and criticized "eventual restrictions on rights by public agents." The note also described the Armed Forces as "moderators" at critical times.

In his recent testimony, leaked to the press today, former Brazilian Air Force (FAB) commander Carlos de Almeida Baptista Junior tried to relieve the image of the reactionary army. He said Marco Antônio Freire Gomes, then army commander, threatened to arrest Bolsonaro if his movements were continued for an institutional rupture during a meeting in December 2022, in which both were presented to Bolsonaro's preparations.

Let's do it by steps. Firstly, given the latest events, the brigadeiro must be invited that the nation has no reason to believe absolutely in the word of a high military officer. The credibility of the barracks, given the latest events, is not a highly valued article out there. Who assures us that this is not just a lie, to clean the image of the institution?

Secondly, although it is true, it is still a fun threat. At the moment Freire Gomes said these strong words to Bolsonaro, the country was convulsing with armed actions of various types performed by far-right groups in the Midwest (Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul), North (Rondônia, Pará ) and South (Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul), all withmodus operandisimilar and with different levels of complexity, including robberies at inspection posts on the highways.

While Freire Gomes was considering taking action to prevent an institutional rupture, all the important installations of the Brazilian Army, in all regions of the country, were being agitated by "green chickens", coordinated throughout the national territory, withmodus operandisimilar and with a single watchword: “federal intervention”.

When Freire Gomes gave his "terrible ultimatum" to Bolsonaro, the former president's aide-de-camp at the time, Mauro Cid, agreed with active officers of the Army's Special Forces on amounts of money to be passed on by the president to carry out demonstrations and even indications of where to hold them – indicating that everything that appeared as a mass movement for the military coup had an operational hard core that operated from within the reactionary army.

Anyway, while Freire Gomes said, Bolsonaro and his core-hard, with operating strength and political centralization, acted. If Freire Gomes would arrest Bolsonaro if something were done in the course of the rupture: what was missing to arrest him, man pale?! Has it been stupid the former commander, the type who does not see the explicit reality under his eyes? It is obvious that its great warning to Bolsonaro was innocuous: despite it, the entire coup joint occurred under his powerless eyes, and only did not result in a coup d'état because he would not have support from the United States.

It's no use. We all know what Freire Gomes' role is in history: the prevaricating general.

Enemies, enemies, oil apart. Despite the recurring statements of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) against Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip and in defense of the Palestinian civilian population, Brazilian oil is among the most used by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu to supply its airplanes and tanks Since the beginning ofguerraOn October 7 last year, after the Hamas terrorist attack.

Oneanalysisof the organizationOil Change Internationalrevealed on Thursday (14) that Brazil is one of the five largest suppliers of crude oil to Israel, along with the United States, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Gabon and Russia. The number of Palestinians massacred in Gaza now exceeds 31,000, 13,000 of them children. Tens of thousands more are injured or missing under the rubble, possibly dead, and survivors face starvation as Israel has blocked the delivery of humanitarian aid. On the Israeli side, 1,388 people were murdered.

Brazil, one of the ten largest oil producers in the world, has sent 260,000 tons of oil to Israel since December, when Lula had already donefirstReviewsthe war. In January this year, the International Court of Justice of Haguedeterminedthat Israel must ensure that its forces do not commit genocide in Palestine, in a sentence resulting from the lawsuit filed by South Africa accusing the country of the practice. Lula, who on more than one occasion gave a speechendorsing the accusationFrom the African country, it has dodged the pressures of social movements for economic sanctions to the country.

“The dynamics of the oil industry is so cruel that, even while President Lula is considered Persona non grateful by the Israeli far-right government, Brazil feeds the Benjamin Netanyahu war machine with Brazilian oil,” says Claudio Angelo, coordinator of International Policy of the Climate Observatory. "This is a problem, but it can also be an instrument of pressure from the Brazilian government for a ceasefire."

The material sent by Brazil in two loads - one in December 2023 and one last month - comes from Campos in the Sea of British Shell and French Total Energies in partnership with Petrobras. According toanalysisAs an important oil supplier for Israel, Brazil has the opportunity to press for a ceasefire through a fossil fuels, used to supply the country's military fleet.

The maintenance of trade relations with Israel is criticized by Palestinian advocates. "States and companies that continue to provide fuel to Israel to their military forces are directly complicit in supporting their ongoing genocide," said Mahmoud Nawaja, general coordinator of the Palestinian National Committee. In this scenario, the embargo is seen as a opposition to the military power of Israel. "We appeal to nations to take advantage of oil supply as a way to demand an immediate ceasefire and the end of the occupation," said Allie Rosenbluth, program manager ofOil Change Internationalus United States.

Historical Allies of Israel, the United States sent three fuel navies to military jet. The last of them was seen at the Israeli Port of Ashkelon on March 6. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Iraq carry crude oil through the Sumed oil. Israel receives from this small, but constant oil remittances. These countries have also criticized Israel's stance in war.

The Climate Observatory questioned the Brazilian government about the sale of oil to the Netanyahu government, but did not get a return until the publication of this report.
