A DIREITA BRASILEIRA E AS MANIFESTAÇÕES DE 2013

Abstract

The article proposes to face the opinion that Bolsonaro's election, representing the rise of a new right, is a direct result of the conditions created in 2013. The question is: does the Brazilian right and extreme right claim these protests as theirs? The work sought the opinions of representatives of the extreme right and civil and military right from the very moment of the demonstrations. It also sought to assess the government's responses to the demands presented and to whom the repressive apparatus was addressed to. No segment of the right identified itself with the presented agendas: the movement had a communist bias or was in serious danger of being guided by extreme left organizations. The protesters were colluding with the violence, which justified the dispersion of the acts and the subsequent criminalization of left-wing organizations. Finally, it raises concerns about the right to demonstrate as the issues that were at the origin of 2013 persist.
