Topic: Luizianne Lins


  
  ZNet | Latin America | Leftist Electoral Victories in Latin America
And although the PT gained an unexpected triumph in Fortaleza, the capital of the northeastern state of Ceará, it did so with a dissident candidate, Luizianne Lins.
In the first round of voting she was rejected by the party leadership, who backed Inacio Arruda of the Communist Party, which supports the PT.
Lins' triumph in a city with a population of over two million as well as the defeats of some of the PT's candidates strengthen currents within the party that criticise the conservative economic policy followed by President Lula.

 Brazil - Fortaleza: the campaign that relied on the militants
Luizianne was one of the rare PT candidates to receive the active support of militants who had left the party after the expulsion of Senator Heloisa Helena and the MPs Baba, Joao Fontes and Luciana Genro, to found the party of Socialism and Freedom (PSoL).
In the second round she won with 56.2 per cent of the votes against Moroni Torgan, the candidate of the Party of the Liberal Front, and was described by the press as “the new star of the Brazilian Left”.
Luizianne Lins is a militant of the Socialist Democracy (DS) tendency of the Workers’ Party (PT) elected as mayor of Fortaleza.

 Left shift in Latin America, By Alan Freeman, Conference of Socialist Economists   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The PT did gain an unexpected triumph in Fortaleza, capital of the north eastern state of Ceará, but with a dissident candidate, Luizianne Lins, who was rejected by the party leadership in the first round.
Lins’ triumph in a city of over two million people and the defeats of certain PT candidates strengthen currents within the party that criticise the conservative economic policy followed by Lula.
Raul Pont, the PT candidate in Porto Alegre, blamed the party’s poor performance on unpopular measures taken by the federal government such as reforms of the social security system that created difficulties for pensioners, and the tiny rise in the minimum salary.

She has blonde hair tied with a fl band, a nice and smiling face and eyes full of colors; she is Luizianne de Oliveira Lins, mayor of Fortaleza, first citizen of a two and a half million inhabitant metropolis, representative of the Workers Party and elected in November's administrative elections.
She is in Florence to launch her campaign against minors sex tourism in Brazil; she is in Italy to thank all the movements, the non profits, the associations and all the institutions that have backed up this crusade against sex tourism.

 Brazil: Lula's Popular Front and the Left
In the municipal elections of November 2004, the national P-SOL supported the PT/DS candidate, Luizianne Lins, on the second round in Fortaleza.
Lins managed to win the city with support from several small bourgeois parties in the second round (which received executive posts in the municipal government in exchange for their support), such as the populist Partido Democratico dos Trabalhadores (Democratic Workers Party) and the Greens.
They are ecstatic with the recent victory of their PT comrade Luizianne Lins in Fortaleza, and they cry about losing the city of Porto Alegre that they long controlled.

Unsupported by the PT, Luizianne Lins was elected PT mayor in Fortaleza by 56% of the vote.
Her campaign was one that had the least resources and little support of the Workers´Party, very different from Marta Suplicy in São Paulo who spent millions of dollars and was defeated.
Luizianne is connected to the more left wing of the PT and won the mayorship with the support of militant volunteers.

Another city in south Brazil won by the opposition PSDB was Florianopolis, Santa Catarina state capital where its candidate, Dario Berger, managed 58% of the vote.
But PT was triumphant in Fortaleza, capital of the north-eastern state of Ceara, where the party had ironically turned its back on its own candidate, Luizianne Lins in the first round of voting, only to support her in the runoff.
Lins finally won with 56% of the vote against 44% for Moroni Torgan from the Liberal Front Party (PFL).

Gardenia was at pains to point out that while what she said was negative about the state government, they weren´t in anyone´s pockets.
Even though she campaigned for Luizianne Lins, who is now the PT mayor in Fortaleza, they were protesting about teachers´conditions down at city hall this week.
She also made a couple of good quotes which I may be able to use, including that while the current state education secretary had made a good analysis of the problems here before taking up her post, she had made it clear that ´before she was Professora Sofia.

By the same token, Fleischer does not believe that the PT's victory in Fortaleza can be chalked up to the federal government's support.
To the contrary, Luizianne Lins's win was due to her own merits, the political scientist affirmed.
"It was Luizianne's fierce battle, her obstinacy and insistence, that won the election," he affirmed.

On Tuesday (11 January), the new mayor of Fortaleza (the Ceará state capital in Brazil's Northeast), Luizianne Lins, headed to Brasília to seek financial assistance for the estimated 400-million-reais debt (US$ 148 million) left by her predecessor.
Unfortunately for Luizianne, she is not exactly flavour of the month in Brasilia.
Another observation Luizianne made after her win was to stress the 'irreparable' damage that the São Paulo (and Porto Alegre) defeat signified for the PT and the shift in the balance of power within the party from the Southeast to the Northeast.

They also point at places where the left of the PT resisted the electoral and political strategy mandated by the national directorate of the party and presented a more radical programme.
The most relevant example of the success of the radical strategy would be the case of Fortaleza, capital of the northern state of Ceará, where the dissident petista Luizianne Lins won the mayorship with 56 percent of the vote, despite not being endorsed by the PT in the first round.
Prospects for the radical approach are not guaranteed, however.

"There's a network of sexual exploitation that we didn't know about, that has been invisible," said Luizianne Lins, Fortaleza's newly elected mayor.
As a city councilwoman, Lins was the chief author of a report in 2002 that delved into the phenomenon of sex tourism and criticized authorities for doing little to combat it.
Last month, Italian police arrested a travel agent who allegedly arranged trips to Brazil for customers interested in having sex with underage girls.

 Latina - Brasile: le elezioni hanno aumentato i problemi di Lula, sia a destra che a sinistra
En cambio el PT ganó sorpresivamente en Fortaleza, capital del nororiental estado de Ceará.
Pero lo hizo con una candidata disidente, Luizianne Lins, que en la primera vuelta enfrentó el rechazo de la dirección partidaria que apoyaba a otro postulante de la coalición en el poder, Inacio Arruda, del Partido Comunista de Brasil.
Tanto el triunfo personal de Lins, en una ciudad con más de dos millones de habitantes, como algunas derrotas de otros de sus candidatos fortalecen las corrientes del PT que critican la política económica conservadora del gobierno de Lula.

What I like about "Petista" Luizianne Lins is that her cultural heritage is written all over her.
Brazil is more racially mixed than most South American countries because of the African infusion, creating a collage of hair colours, textures, and features -- and by the looks of her, Luizianne could well be of African, and Dutch origin, since that area of Brazil was dominated by Holland for over 30 years.
She's not afraid to look feminine either, like recently unseated Mayor of São Paulo, Marta Suplicy -- who merits a wee mention here.

 Brazil - Brazzil Magazine - The Thirst for Power Wrecked Lula's Party and Corroded Brazil's Democracy
To assess whether the emphasis on participatory democracy had really been confined to the state of Rio Grande Do Sol, with its highly-developed civil society, I took a reality check by visiting Fortaleza - 4,000 kilometres from Porto Alegre.
There, the radical PT member Luizianne Lins had won a contest in 2004 for mayor against the wishes of the leadership (José Dirceu had flown in from São Paulo to campaign against her).
I attended meetings of citizens deciding on their priorities for the city's plan to negotiate over them with Luizianne.
