A Crise da democracia liberal e o populismo de direita: uma análise crítica do caso brasileiro

Abstract

The research uses the bibliographic method and presents as its scope idiosyncrasies that highlight the crisis of liberal democracy and opening up space for a new political action, with the rise of right-wing populism, especially in Brazil, in a time frame that starts from the June journeys 2013 to the election of President Jair Messias Bolsonaro. An analysis is made of the conflict between the logic of the representative and the represented in the universe of liberal democracy. In addition, it demonstrates a concept of populism, more specifically right-wing, as well as the characteristics that differentiate it from traditional populism. Emphasis is placed on understanding the causes of the mighty strength of populism in the sense of placing itself as the mouthpiece of a morality, which holds the moral monopoly of representation, while deliberately attacking a liberal democracy, ignoring the filter of parliament . In the name of the people, it takes on a mendacious discourse of a new policy without vicarious ties, against the elite. It enlists supporters, above all the virtual ones, which, due to a threadbare narrative of meeting the will of the majority, threatens liberal democracy through freedom of expression, political representation and civil rights, through speeches on multiple network platforms social.
