The, which was the target of attacks from the right and former president (), made public criticism to the president (PT) this week.
“It was targeted in 2017 of protests, and Schwartz, the target of threats after a child touched his cinnamon, which is naked during the show. And the case was and Bolsonaro himself to attack the left.
In an open letter to Lula, Schwartz says he saw that the OE to congratulate the artists for awards they received and said it has been waiting for a connection from the petista since 2017. “I imagine you remember what happened to many artists that year – and what still happens,” Schwartz wrote.
In the letter, released on Thursday (5) on his social networks, the artist says he could find the president to talk in person, as he has lived for 20 years in Paris and.
“It would be a good opportunity to talk, not only about my case, but also about so many artists who, because they accumulate successes, were forced to leave Brazil, stay in the country at risk, or reinvent their forms of work – the Bolsonaro government,” he wrote.
To the panel, Schwartz says he has not been sought by any government member since its publication and was not invited to events that had the petista’s participation in Paris.
He says he believes this has happened because “the discomfort my story causes is real.”
“And by saying ‘my history’, I also speak of many artists who, yesterday and today, were or continue to be harassed in Brazil without support and without ‘phone calls’. Perhaps because, in Brazil, political recognition is still reserved for those who perform a conciliable success, and not to those who expose political problems that follow unanswered,” he says.
Schwartz also says that the government “wants people whose image is validated and marketed by luxury institutions.”
“For me, this contradicts the speech of who is ‘for the people’. The people do not reach the Oscar, nor the Golden Globe, nor do Cannes. We know very well what is necessary to occupy these spaces – we need to have the privileges that Lula did not have before being president,” says Schwartz.
