In the first round, the electoral sham had already failed. More than 40 million people did not attend to the elections or voted null or blank, which equals 29.1% of the people who are able to vote.  This number is very meaningful, given that in the last election in 2014 the boycott was of approximately 38 million, which A Nova Democracia has characterized as “the biggest boycott to the electoral sham”. The correct number is certainly even bigger, because the people who had their voter title cancelled due to not participating and did not regularize this situation due to not caring or rejection are not counted by the Electoral Justice.

[with information from A Nova Democracia website]

The most voted candidate had actually 33,4% of the total of voters, which means 49 million people from a pool of 147 million, almost as many as the ones who boycotted, and it also means that 100 million did not support the fist placed candidate.

Also the boycott to the electoral sham was expressed in the election for governor of the states.
In Rio de Janeiro approximately 4.7 million people boycotted the electoral sham, 42% of the total, and the one in the first place had 25%, which means he did not manage to overcome the rejection to the elections.

Also in Minas Gerais the election was a failure, approximately 6 million people, 42.8% and the one in first place had 26%, approximately 4 million people. Again the rejection won.
In Rondonia the first place had not even 20.5% of the votes and the rejection was 38% of the voters. 409.400 people from 1.1 million voters.

In Teresópolis, a city in Rio de Janeiro state, there was also election for mayor. The result was a complete failure, more than 61600 (56.6%) of the voters did not vote and the first place had 23.500 (18.6%) of the votes from a total of 129.900 people able to vote.

These data were removed from the official website of the Electoral Justice.

PEOPLE ACTIVELY BOYCOTT THE ELECTORAL SHAM

Despite the numbers that clearly express the bankruptcy of the fake democracy (the dictatorship of the big bourgeoisie and landlords who serve imperialism), part of the people actively boycott the electoral sham and made actions.

In Mato Grosso state, indigenous peoples from a village in Brasnorte, expelled the Army soldiers with arrows. The goal of them was to prevent the people to access the electronic ballots inside the place, as part of the rejection to the fake democracy. The soldiers were deployed to enter the village.
In São José dos Pinhais city, in Paraná state, apparently two people attacked the Electoral Forum of the city with Molotov cocktail, they were using hoods for not being identified by the repression. Hundreds of electronic ballots.

In Morro da Fumaça city, south of Santa Catarina, a 25 year-old worker destroyed an electronic ballot with a sledgehammer during the voting. He entered the room and made the action. He was captured by the Military Police and could not speak the reason of the action, but it is deductible that was part of the popular rage with the fake democracy.

In Campinas city, countryside of São Paulo state, two electronic ballots were sabotaged before the beginning of the votes. People stealthy entered in a school, broke in a room and cut the power cables of the ballots.

“This historical boycott in the first round is a hard blow thrown against the fake democracy and shows that the people´s masses urge for a new society and a new system, which will emerge from the people´s struggle and other means, and also impulses the crisis in the core of the ruling classes.” States the article.

We publish an english translation of a note published on A Nova Demoracia webpage, denoucing the arrest of a student during a protest in Rondônia state.

With information from the A Nova Democracia support committee of Porto Velho

A law student at the Federal University of Rondônia (UNIR) was arbitrarily arrested by the Military Police while agitating against the electoral sham and denouncing police repression during the national act against Bolsonaro, held on September 29 in the city of Porto Velho, Rondônia.

Repression agents tried to justify the absurd arrest claiming that she had criticized the police institution during the demonstration. In her speech, the student had fiercely denounced the falsity of the elections and also the crimes committed by the Military Police against peasants, who are not infrequently covered by the press monopoly, which is servile to the latifundium and the judiciary.

Following her arrest, several demonstrators rushed to the police station door, along with a lawyer commission to provide support and denounce the persecutory, political and illegal character of the arrest.

From the moment of arbitrary arrest, popular movements and activists in Rondônia are calling on organizations, entities and democratic personalities to issue notes of repudiation facing another show of illegality promoted by the old state against the people.

The long history of crimes of the Military Police of Rondônia

The Military Police of Rondônia has a long and well-known history of crimes committed against the peasants of the region. Crimes which are frequently practiced in collusion with the local landlords, just as denounced several times in the A Nova Democracia pages.

Among one of the most barbarous crimes executed by police officers ordered by the latifundium, we mention one of those that moved the country in 2016: the murders of the two young peasants Allysson Henrique Lopes and Ruan Hildebran Aguiar, ex-settlers from Fazenda Tucumã, in the municipality of Cujubim.

Only in this case, according to the investigations of the Civil Police itself, at least 3 military police officers were implicated, two of them coming from the 7th Battalion, ranging Ariquemes (RO) and Cujubim. All the ones were involved with the landlord and supposedly farm owner, Paulo Iwakami, known as "Japanese", who was also arrested at the time.

Just as the facts show, the denunciation that the student of law made during the protest is more than verifiable truth, but a necessity to be spread as proof of the anti-people character of this old bourgeois-latifundium state.
