1
00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:04,000
His Excellency Mr. President, honourable 
Members of the Parliamente,

2
00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:05,300
and guests.

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:06,900
Good afternoon.

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
My name is Ana Julia. I'm a high school student.

5
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:13,900
From the Stadual School Senador Manoel Alencar 
de Guimarães.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
I am sixteen years old. And I am here

7
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:22,100
to have a conversation with you and talk 
about the occupations.

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,000
My innitial question is

9
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:33,100
who is the owner of the school? To whom does 
the school belong?

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,200
I believe everyone here knows this answer.

11
00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:47,300
And with the trust that you know this answer 
that I tell you about this movement's legality.

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,400
About its legitimacy. If anyone here still 
has doubts about it,

13
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:57,400
I invite you to see article 16, line 6th 
of the law 8.069.

14
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:05,900
if after reading it, you still doubt the 
legality of our movement,

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
I invite you to be a part of our occupations.

16
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:12,100
I invite you to come and visit us

17
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,600
to see it up close.

18
00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:19,700
It's an insult to us who are there, dedicating 
ourselves,

19
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,800
looking for motivation everyday,

20
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:24,600
to be called indoctrinated.

21
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:27,800
It's an insult to the students and an insult 
to the teachers.

22
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,500
Our difficulty to develop a thought is much 
bigger than yours.

23
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,700
We have to get everything the midia shows 
to us

24
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:47,900
go through a compheheension process, a selection 
process

25
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,100
for us to be able to find what we will be 
for or against,

26
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,700
so we can understand. And it's not an easy 
process.

27
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,600
It's not easy for students to simply decide 
what to fight for.

28
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:06,500
But we still raised our heads. And we are 
facing this.

29
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,400
We are not there playing, we know what we 
are fighting for.

30
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:16,300
Our flag is Education. Our only flag is Education.

31
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:23,400
We are a non-partisan movement. We are the 
movement made by students for the students.

32
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:26,700
We are the movement that worries about the 
future generations.

33
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,500
A movement that cares abour our society. 
That cares about the future of our country.

34
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:38,300
What will the future hold for Brazil if we 
don't care about a generation of people

35
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,200
that will develop a critical sense, that 
have a political critical sense.

36
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:48,100
of people who cannot read something and simply 
believe it.

37
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,000
We need to know what we are reading.We have 
to be against the functional illiteracy

38
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:56,400
which is a big problem, today, in Brazil.

39
00:02:56,500 --> 00:03:01,300
and this is why we are here. This is why 
we occupied our own schools.

40
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,200
It's why we raise the Education flag. It's 
why we are against the provisional measure.

41
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:11,100
Yes, the provisional measure is forseen in 
the constitution,

42
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,800
but it is forseen on an emergency basis.

43
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:23,600
We know we need a reform in our high school 
education. Not only that,

44
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:26,000
but in the educational system as a whole.

45
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:31,700
The education reform is a priority, but we 
need a reform that has been debated,

46
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:39,300
a reform that has been talked about, that 
has to be made by the professionals in the 
education field.

47
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,600
This is the reform we need.

48
00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:47,500
We need a reform with conversation, something 
that all of us agree.

49
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,100
The provisional measure has good points too.

50
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:55,000
But it has too many flaws. If we put it into 
practice now with those flaws

51
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:59,900
we will be doomed to failure. Brazil will 
be doomed to failure.

52
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,800
We are not only claiming the provisional 
measure. We also have the commonly known 
as "Gag Law"

53
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:16,400
"Non-partisan School", which is an affront, 
a school with non-partisan is a school

54
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:24,900
with no critical sense, a racist school, 
a homophobic school.

55
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,500
A non-partisan school is to tell us, students, 
young people, society,

56
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:37,900
that they want to build an army of non-thinkers. 
An army that listens and does whatever is 
told,

57
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,800
and bow their heads. And we are not this, 
we have a history,

58
00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:47,700
in this history we fight against this. And 
in the middle of the 21st century,

59
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:55,900
in 2016, you want to set a project like this 
one?

60
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,800
A non-partisan school insults us, humiliates 
us, tells us that we don't have the capacity

61
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:05,700
to think for ourselves. But we have.

62
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,600
We won't bow down for this. The 241 PEC (Constitutional 
Amndment Proposal) is another affront to 
us.

63
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:15,500
It's unconstitutional, its an affront to 
the constitution of 1988.

64
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,400
In this constitution we have the social security. 
The 241 PEC puts an end to this.

65
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:25,300
It's an affront to the welfare system. It's 
an affront to health, to education.

66
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,800
It's an affront to the social assistance. 
We can't let that happen.

67
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:37,100
We can't lie down and accept this.

68
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:42,000
We are here for ideals. We, students, are 
here because of our ideals.

69
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:44,500
CESMAG, our school is there, occupied, because 
of an ideal.

70
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,800
Because we had an assembly, we voted, we 
exposed the pros and cons.

71
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:55,600
And we saw that we are here for a cause, 
that our flag is Education.

72
00:05:55,700 --> 00:06:00,500
And we are not letting it go that easily.

73
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,400
Nicole is here fighting for Education. She 
was occupying her school to fight for education.

74
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:10,300
Parana's schools and Brazil's schools are 
doing this for education.

75
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,200
We are not the to make a mess, we are not 
there to play.

76
00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:18,600
We are there for an ideal. We are there to 
make it clear that we believe in the future 
of our country.

77
00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:23,500
This country is ours, it's going to belong 
to my kids, and to the kids of my kids.

78
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,400
And I care for this country. We are there 
because we care.

79
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:35,000
Yesterday, I was at Lucas funeral. And I 
don't recall seeing any of these faces here.

80
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:45,200
I can't recall one. You want to tell me... 
Yes, we knew we were worried.

81
00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:51,700
You are here representing the state. And 
I invite you to check your own hands.

82
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:58,100
Your hands are dirty with Luca's blood. Not 
only with his blood, but with all the teenagers,

83
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,800
students, that are also victims.

84
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:03,200
No, no, we aren't.

85
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:06,700
Yes, Luca's blood is in your hands. You represent 
the state.

86
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:16,200
I'm going to intevene with all due resect 
to your age, your family, but in here you 
can't offend the parliamentary.

87
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:24,400
Here... we... I'm going to end this session. 
I'm going to stop this now.

88
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:27,300
I ask for silence or I will end this session 
now.

89
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,100
ECA (Child and Adolscent Statute) says-

90
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,100
Quiet!

91
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,000
Your Excenllency, nobody offended you, here, 
yesterday.

92
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:40,900
So I, as the president, will enforce my authority. 
I democratically allowed

93
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,800
you to come here and nobody will be affronted 
by it.

94
00:07:44,900 --> 00:07:48,300
Let her conclude, Your Excellency.

95
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:54,800
You made a deal with me, yesterday. So she 
can express herself about the PEC.

96
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:58,300
But don't affront any of the parlamentarians. 
Nobody has their hands full of blood here.

97
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,300
I am sorry.

98
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:09,800
I am sorry but ECA tells us that the responsibility 
for our adolescents, for our students,

99
00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:14,700
lies on the society, family and state.

100
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,000
We, students,

101
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:25,800
who are in these schools, are not bums,

102
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:27,900
like they say it here.

103
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
How society, outside, says.

104
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,500
We are there for our ideals, we fight for 
them,

105
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,800
we believe them.

106
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:43,400
I invite you to go to the occupations, to 
see our psychological stress.

107
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:47,800
To see that is not easy to be there. And 
that we will keep on fighting.

108
00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:50,400
We will keep on fighting because we believe 
in this.

109
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:52,700
We will keep on fighting because we are searching 
for knowledge.

110
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,400
We won't stop looking for knowledge.

111
00:08:55,500 --> 00:09:00,300
I invite you to go there. To see the movement 
for yourselves.

112
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,400
And you will be welcomed.

113
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:06,800
Our idea is to present to you the reasons 
we are there.

114
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:15,300
The Student Movement brought us a much broader 
knowledge about politics and citizenry.

115
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,500
than all the time we have been sitting in 
rows in standard classes.

116
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:28,200
One week of occupation, like we are, brought 
us a broader knowledge

117
00:09:28,300 --> 00:09:32,100
about politics and citizenry than many others 
years that we will still have in the classroom.

118
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:41,800
Despite all this mockery, demoralization. 
Despite being offended.

119
00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:43,700
Despite all the problems we will face.

120
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,900
We still are able to have the presence of 
happiness.

121
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,900
We have happiness because we can see we stopped 
being mere teenagers.

122
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,800
We became citizens who are commited with 
the progression of our nation.
