Samara Martins: Today parliament has become the trading counter of these dominant classes, of this... financial oligarchy, which today is industrial capital together with banking capital, and they are the ones who dominate the economy in our country.
Samara Martins: So it's an economy that can't sustain itself, because it presents the contradictions of the very system it claims to defend.
And you can't serve two masters: you can't say you're going to defend the rich class that wants to earn more and profit more, and defend the poor people who are trying to survive and have a better quality of life.
Samara Martins: In many... aspects of our economy, we will see these contradictions.
Samara Martins: So we don't believe it's through the electoral route, the bourgeois democracy as we call it, the democracy of the rich class.
