Samara Martins: So in that context we have to be in those spaces: the City Council, the Chamber of Deputies, the Senate, the Presidency.
to be able to unmask the lies propagated by capitalism and imperialism, that it's possible to solve the people's problems by guaranteeing a concentration of income in the hands of a very small number of people, even using public money to guarantee those privileges.
