FENAFAR AT THE 17TH CONGRESS OF WORLD FEDERATION OF TRADE UNIONS
The board of the National Federation of Pharmacists greets all fellow members present at the 17th Congress of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU).
The National Federation of Pharmacists is the labor union that represents pharmacists at a national level. With 19 affiliated unions around the country, Fenafar struggles for the appreciation of pharmacists, defends Health as a right for all and a tool to build a country with more equality, better developed and sovereign. Founded 42 years ago, the federation has participated of the struggle to defend democracy and has always worked together with other workers and labor unions to expand social and labor rights.
We are affiliated to the Worker’s Center of Brazil - WCB, to the National University Worker’s Confederation – NUWC and recently became a member of the World Federation of Trade Unions - WFTU. Fenafar has always been inserted in general political struggles. In all eight union congresses, we have recorded in their resolutions the denouncement of North American imperialism and the attempts of political, economic and cultural subordination of countries to the USA and the need to strengthen Latin American integration with countries of the South-South axis. The Federation participated actively in the fight against the implementation of the FTAA in Brazil; we defend the strengthening of Mercosur, UnaSul, Bric’s and the participation of workers in these forums.
Brazil and Latin America are currently undergoing an advance of conservative forces seeking to take political and economic control of countries, which during the 00’s, built sovereign policies for the development and greater integration of the continent. Parliamentary/Judiciary/Media coups overthrew democratically elected governments in Paraguay, Honduras and recently in Brazil.
The illegitimate government of Michel Temer is the most symbolic expression of the willingness of international financial sectors, together with the national and submissive bourgeoisies, of resuming the neoliberal agenda in Latin America.
The ongoing coup in Brazil intends to dismantle the Federal Constitution, doing away with rights to Health, Education, and Housing; allowing that foreigners purchase Brazilian land; opening the capital of all areas that are still protected in our economy to multinational corporations, and privatizing key sectors such as water and oil.
Another target of the coup perpetrators are labor rights such as the 13th salary, vacation time, the end of the policy of minimum wage increases, the end of labor clauses provided in the Consolidation of Labor Laws – CLT, the outsourcing of the State’s core activities, the institution of what is negotiated will prevail over what is legislated, further expanding the deterioration of labor in Brazil.
We emphasize that the labor units in Brazil and Latin America is indispensable to prevent the removal of rights and to defeat the advance of neoliberalism. We are mobilized and fighting against the coup, in defense of democracy and against the setbacks in Brazil and Latin America.

FENAFAR EN EL 17º CONGRESO DE LA FEDERACIÓN SINDICAL MUNDIAL
La junta directiva de la Federación Nacional de Farmacéuticos saluda a todos los compañeros y compañeras presentes en el 17º Congreso de la Federación Sindical Mundial (FSM).
La Federación Nacional de Farmacéuticos es la entidad sindical que representa al grupo farmacéutico en todo Brasil. Con 19 sindicatos afiliados en todo el país, Fenafar lucha para que se valore más al farmacéutico, defiende la salud como un derecho para todos y como una herramienta para construir un país soberano, menos desigual y más desarrollado. Tras su fundación hace 42 años, la federación ha participado en la lucha en defensa de la democracia y siempre ha actuado junto a los demás trabajadores y entidades sindicales para ampliar los derechos sociales y laborales.
Está afiliada a la Central de Trabajadores y Trabajadoras de Brasil (CTB), la Confederación Nacional de Trabajadores Universitarios (CNTU), y recientemente se ha afiliado a la Federación Sindical Mundial (FSM). Fenafar siempre ha tratado de participar en las luchas políticas generales. En todos sus ocho congresos sindicales, se han registrado en sus resoluciones la denuncia del imperialismo norteamericano y los intentos de subordinación política, económica y cultural de los países por parte de los Estados Unidos, y la necesidad de fortalecer la integración latinoamericana y del eje Sur-Sur. La federación ha participado activamente en la lucha contra la implantación de ALCA en Brasil, y aboga por el fortalecimiento de Mercosur, UNASUR, de los BRICS y la participación de los trabajadores en estos fórums.
En la actualidad, Brasil y toda Latinoamérica pasan por una situación donde hay un avance de las fuerzas conservadoras, que buscan retomar el control político y económico de los países que, en la década de 2000, elaboraron políticas soberanas de desarrollo y de una mayor integración del continente. Varios golpes de Estado de tipo parlamentario/jurídico/mediáticos han derrocado gobiernos elegidos de
forma democrática en Paraguay, en Honduras, y más recientemente, en Brasil.
El gobierno ilegítimo de Michel Temer es la expresión más simbólica de la voluntad de los sectores financieros internacionales, aliados a las burguesías nacionales y entreguistas, para retomar los proyectos neoliberales en Latinoamérica.
El golpe de Estado en marcha en Brasil pretende desmantelar la Constitución Federal y acabar con el derecho a la salud, a la educación y a la vivienda. Su objetivo es permitir que los extranjeros puedan adquirir tierras en Brasil, que haya una apertura de capital para las multinacionales de todas las áreas protegidas de nuestra economía, y la privatización de sectores estratégicos como el petróleo y el agua.
Otro objetivo de los golpistas es atacar los derechos laborales, como la paga extra y las vacaciones, el fin de la política que defiende el salario mínimo, el fin de las cláusulas laborales previstas en la Consolidación de las Leyes Laborales (CLT), la tercerización de las actividades principales del Estado, conseguir que la negociación prevalezca sobre la legislación, ampliar aún más el trabajo precario en Brasil, etc.
Hay que resaltar que la unidad de los trabajadores en Brasil y en Latinoamérica es esencial para impedir la destrucción de los derechos y para derrotar el avance del neoliberalismo. Estamos en lucha y movilizados contra el golpe de Estado, en defensa de la democracia y contra los retrocesos en Brasil y en Latinoamérica.

FENAFAR NO 17º CONGRESSO DA FEDERAÇÃO SINDICAL MUNDIAL
A diretoria da Federação Nacional dos Farmacêuticos saúda todos os companheiros e companheiras presentes ao 17º Congresso da Federação Sindical Mundial (FSM).
A Federação Nacional dos Farmacêuticos é a entidade sindical representativa da categoria farmacêutica em nível nacional. Com 19 sindicatos filiados em todo o país, a Fenafar luta pela valorização do profissional farmacêutico, defende a Saúde como direito de todos e ferramenta para a construção de um país menos desigual, mais desenvolvido e soberano. Fundada há 42 anos, a federação participou da luta em defesa da democracia e sempre atuou em conjunto com os demais trabalhadores e entidades sindicais para ampliar os direitos sociais e trabalhistas.
É filiada à Central dos Trabalhadores e Trabalhadoras do Brasil - CTB, à Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores Universitários – CNTU e, recentemente, filiou-se à Federação Sindical Mundial - FSM. A Fenafar sempre buscou se inserir nas lutas políticas gerais. Em todos os seus oito congressos sindicais, estão registradas em suas resoluções a denúncia do imperialismo norte-americano e as tentativas de subordinação política, econômica e cultural dos países aos EUA, e a necessidade de se fortalecer a integração latino-americana e com países do eixo Sul-Sul. A Federação participou ativamente da luta contra a implantação da ALCA no Brasil, defende o fortalecimento do Mercosul, da UnaSul, os Bric’s e a participação dos trabalhadores nesses fóruns.
Atualmente, o Brasil e a América Latina passam por uma conjuntura de avanço das forças conservadoras, que buscam retomar o controle político e econômico dos países que, nos anos 2000, construíram políticas soberanas de desenvolvimento e de maior integração do continente. Golpes parlamentares/jurídicos/midiáticos derrubaram
governos democraticamente eleitos no Paraguai, em Honduras e mais recentemente no Brasil.
O governo ilegítimo de Michel Temer é a expressão mais simbólica da disposição dos setores financeiros internacionais, aliados às burguesias nacionais e entreguistas, de retomar a agenda neoliberal na América Latina.
O golpe em curso no Brasil pretende desmontar a Constituição Federal, acabando com o direito à Saúde, à Educação, à Moradia; permitindo que estrangeiros adquiram terras brasileiras; abrindo o capital de todas as áreas ainda protegidas da nossa economia para as multinacionais; e privatizando setores estratégicos como o da água e do petróleo.
Outro alvo dos golpistas são os direitos trabalhistas como 13º salário, férias, fim da política de valorização do salário mínimo, fim das cláusulas trabalhistas previstas na Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho – CLT, terceirização de atividades fins do Estado, instituição de que o negociado prevaleça sobre o legislado, ampliando ainda mais a precarização do trabalho no Brasil.
Ressaltamos que a unidade dos trabalhadores no Brasil e na América Latina é indispensável para impedir a retirada de direitos e para derrotar o avanço do neoliberalismo. Estamos mobilizados e em luta contra o golpe, em defesa da democracia e contra os retrocessos no Brasil e na América Latina.
