“And why does BTG Pactual want to censor the most important economic journalist in the country, Luis Nassif?” Asks Laura Capriglione, from Periodistas Libres. “This one is easy: so you can’t tell the whole world that Brazil is being butchered and sold as pig washing,” says edit
By Laura Capriglione, two Free journalists – The censorship of Jornal GGN and the journalist Luis Nassif is on that list of obscenities to which Brazil has become accustomed. If not even God respects himself anymore (look at the priest and the evangelical who boasts of all sins), if not even more respected doctor (look at the invasions of hospitals inflated by Bolsonaro), if now a lawyer receives punches in her mouth when she goes to prisons (and the police are the ones who hit them), if a 10-year-old raped girl is called a “whore” and they want to force her to carry the pregnancy to term, even if she dies … If one day she is the boss practically playing the heights of one building as a child and, in the other, she is the instantaneous appearance of the Respirator Mafia (while the country suffocates with a hundred thousand dead peaks). If a hundred thousand peaks die and the president asks “So what?” he’s practically reelected …
If all this is true, why not censor Jornal GGN and the journalist Luis Nassif? What is it, in the face of such horror, for a judge to erase the articles that mention BTG Pactual, not by chance, the hyperinvestment bank from which the current minister Paulo Guedes emerged, before establishing himself as the country’s greatest criminal? Just to give an idea of size, in July 2014, BTG Pactual hit the US $ 200 billion mark in total assets. More than R $ 1 billion.
Because if they can censor Jornal GGN and the journalist Luis Nassif, if they can censor the press, they will also be able to suppress all the news that was mentioned above. It will be enough for a judge to decide that he wants it. The materials are canceled. Journalism is canceled. What is inconvenient for the president’s friends is canceled.
And why does BTG Pactual want to censor the most important economic journalist in the country, Luis Nassif?
It’s easy: so you can’t tell the whole world that Brazil is being quartered and sold as a pig wash, only to be bought up by banks like BTG Pactual, the hyper-investment bank from which current Minister Paulo emerged. Guedes – before becoming the biggest thief in the country (always good to remember).
Follow the money (“Follow the money”) is a catchphrase popularized by the movie “All the President’s Men” (USA, 1976). It goes like this: If you are investigating a corruption scandal, the first thing to consider is who will win. Who will win the lottery.
Luis Nassif, being the most important economic journalist in the country, was doing just that. Showing the large flows of money that allow us to test massive corruption schemes. To censor Nassif and the GGN newspaper is to silence journalism, to prevent it from reporting. It is taking away from the population the right to be informed. It is to make financial institutions absolutely out of all social control, under the argument that, being on the stock exchanges, they cannot suffer any vibration in public opinion. Absolutely out of any social control.
Think about it. Free banks to do whatever they want …
For all these reasons, Periodistas Libres sympathizes with the most important economic journalist in the country, Luis Nassif. And they are available to republish censored content on our pages.
