Uma eleição disruptiva : principais causas que levaram Bolsonaro à presidência do Brasil

Abstract

The election for president of Brazil in 2018 drew attention for its unusual and disruptive nature. Jair Messias Bolsonaro, who won the election and was considered a political outsider, as well as having a homophobic, racist, misogynist discourse and defending the 1964 military dictatorship, defeated his opponents in an unusual way, taking into account the Brazilian tradition of post- democratization elections. This phenomenon has been extensively examined by the intellectual community, through scientific journals, books, monographs, dissertations and theses, which have helped us to understand some of the conditioning factors of the historical process that led to the final result of this election. We tried to divide the themes into four chapters, respecting the chronology of the facts: The June 2013 protests; The advance of the extreme right in Brazil; The Lava Jato party and the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff.
