The election to the direction of the, which will take place in July, will have a plate formed by black militants, with the aim of increasing racial diversity in party instances.
Named “by representativeness in the PT”, will have 204 members and
“It is urgent to the presence of more black women, younger peripherals, more peasants and peasants, more people with disabilities, more LGBTQIAPN+ occupying spaces of power and decision,” says the candidacy manifesto. “This diversity cannot be just symbolic: it must be political,” the text adds.
A member of the National Collective to Combat Party Racism, João Carlos Nogueira states that the process of internal election of the PT is a time to “oxygen the debate” in the party.
“The representativeness of black women, for example, has grown a lot in the municipal councils and legislative assemblies in recent years. We do not have in the National PT directory this same representativeness,” he says.
Although most members are formed by blacks, there are also white members who have an anti -racist agenda and in defense of diversity, says Nogueira.
Unlike other plates, which are linked to internal trends, the “black” candidacy is not linked to any current, nor will have a candidate for party president, who is elected separately.
