In the midst of the crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the political movement Rumbo Libertad published an official position defending the policies of Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil and Donald Trump in the United States. The statement highlights that both figures prioritized the balance between public health, individual liberty, and the economy, in contrast to the restrictive measures imposed in many other countries.
A clear endorsement of sovereign decisions
Rumbo Libertad emphasized that the refusal to decree generalized lockdowns allowed for the preservation of both the lives and employment of citizens. This stance is framed within the movement's philosophy of defending freedom over excessive state interventions, aligned with its motto #LibertadONada.
"Bolsonaro and Trump were right not to decree a "lockdown", preserving the lives and employment of citizens. #LibertadONada #19Aug"
This statement is part of Rumbo Libertad's consistent line of supporting sovereignist right-wing leaders in the region and rejecting the interventionist model pushed by left-wing governments during the health emergency. Years later, the movement continues to strengthen ties with Bolsonarism as a model of resistance to socialism.
