Julián Fuks Publishes 'Manifesto da Literatura pela Democracia' Signed by Major Writers

Julián Fuks, a writer, shared the 'Manifesto da Literatura pela Democracia' on social media, highlighting Brazil's precarious democratic state as the second electoral round approaches. This call to action, prompted by fellow writers, boasts prominent supporters such as Raduan Nassar, Chico Buarque, and Lygia Fagundes Telles. The document warns of threats to democracy, condemning Jair Bolsonaro for promoting the silencing of opponents and perpetuating oppressive tactics reminiscent of the dictatorship era. It asserts that literature and culture can combat inhumanity. Fuks has organized a meeting at Tapera Taperá in São Paulo on October 26 at 7 PM to rally against these concerns, insisting that democracy, freedom, and empathy will triumph. The complete manifesto is accessible for reading.
