Lack of mobilization on the left is reality, says Manuela D’Ávila

Former deputy was a candidate for vice in Haddad’s plate in 2018; On Sunday, less than 6,000 were the act with Boulos

The former federal deputy (without party) stated that the left has found difficulty mobilizing its political field on the streets. Part of this, he said, is due to the transfer of public discussion to the digital environment.

Networks are the main space for social debate and are not transparently and neutrally intermediated, but by algorithms that reproduce concepts closer to the far right, which presents lying but simple solutions”, Said d’ávila in to the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo published this Friday (4.ab.2025).

Manuela D’Ávila’s statement is days after a demonstration against the amnesty for the January 8 prisoners, called by (PSOL-SP). The act attracted about in São Paulo.

One of the points she draws attention is that the right managed to create in (PL), for example, the image of a politician whose way of life is closer to the rest of the population.

Even if he is accused of stealing jewelry from public heritage and selling, he does not appear next to a waiter, serving red wine and fillet. This gives the idea of ​​greater proximity and identity ”he said.

Manuela d’Avila was a candidate for the vice president in the plate of (PT) in 2018. Currently, she is without mandate and without a party: the former deputy (Communist Party of Brazil) after 25 years acting as a militant. In the interview, she pointed out as one of the main reasons for the discharge.

I think the PT, as a very large party, would take the autonomy of PC do B, which is a smaller party. The wide front is essential, but a leftist party must fulfill the role of being the left within that, and if you are federated with the PT, which has the responsibility to harmonize this front, it limits your ability to present ideas. ”he explained.

Regarding the possibility of applying in 2026, after not having competed for any position in the last majority elections, D’Ávila states that “It may be that there is the possibility of me to dispute, because I have no personal impediment“One of the reasons that animates her to return to the electoral dispute is the fact that she is for the Senate in Rio Grande do Sul, her state.

Regarding his party destination, D’Ávila said, without specifying, that he received invitations to join the subtitles of his political field. However, he said he was not thinking of joining a party just to run in 2026. ”Party for me is a serious thing, not an outfit that I saw just to compete for an electionhe added.
