“I like to see democracy as an instrument for freedom. And Christianity is also about freedom. So a world that no longer wants to believe in God is a world that no longer wants to believe in freedom and democracy,” he declared. Araujowho was chancellor of the government of Jair Bolsonaro for two years. “Today’s world no longer believes in freedom. It is a world that no longer believes in itself or that man can create solutions. It is a world that does not believe that man can identify truth and lies. And that he does not believe that man can be free, ”he added.
“The world was moving forward with freedom and at one point in the 1990s they decided it was going too far and created ‘the third way’, which brought capitalism closer to socialism. And that was the art of globalization that reinstated control over society”, warned Araújo.
“In Brazil we see the alliance of the left with the right generating a new way of democracy. The problem is that they decided to give this new regime to democracy, and they decided to call it democracy. And to convince the people that this is the path is to call it democracy. They called the Twingo Ferrari that is now in Brazil”, said the former Brazilian foreign minister.
