Brazil's most recent contribution to the disillusionment of humanitarian rhetoric

Bonna Petit!!! (A/Z, 2017) [I took this video out of Youtube, because I wanted to change it];

"Ustedes saben lo que significa  esta campaña para nuestra causa. Quiere decir que he comprometido mi honor en vano?... Quiere  decir que hemos mentido al país en  vano?... Las  generaciones futuras so  llamadas a juzgar. Confío en que haya republicanos que me defiendan. Toda mi conducta ha  estado orientada a la defensa de la República, que debe hacer sentir su autoridad en todos los rincones si quiere que el país progrese."

Moreira César (Vargas Llosa/La Guerra del Fin del Mundo)

After being arrested, the senator Delcídio do Amaral now says that “it was for humanitarian reasons” that he plotted to “help” Mr. Cerveró flying to Spain.*** 

Here we have the sixth largest economy of the world sank into a serious economic crisis and the environmental tragedy of Mariana. The senator Delcídio Amaral was the political articulator of the government in the House of Senators. 

By “disillusionment of humanitarian rhetoric,” I don’t mean that Delcídio is lying (although he is). What he says, on the other hand, is not simply false. It is rather true, because the meaning of words such as “humanitarian” as they have been used by this leftist government is now completely eroded. And it won't be available in the near future for any wing whatsoever.  

Regression will only be worse if the right pretend to be more "humanitarian" than the left, and start to do so by rushing to dismantle the social policies that have been so far implemented.

***For the arrest, see The New York Times report. For Delcídio's infamous statement see Estadão’s report.
