Retrocessos e fragilidades da democracia brasileira pós ditadura militar: como a falha da justiça de transição contribuiu para o fortalecimento de grupos de extrema direita no Brasil

Abstract

In recent years, the far-right has been gaining strength in Brazil. In the period following the military dictatorship in the country, some measures were taken to keep the memory of the military regime alive and justice was served; however, the failure to implement these measures resulted in a democracy built on fragile ground. In this sense, this study analyzes the effects of post-military regime transitional justice on Brazilian society, using bibliographical research as methodology. Initially, key concepts of democracy, dictatorship, and a historical contextualization of the military regime in Brazil are presented, as well as an analysis of the central moments for the country's redemocratization and how these moments influenced the growth of extremist thoughts and the advancement of calls for military intervention in the country. The work will also study the current political context, concluding that the agenda of military intervention has become so prevalent today due to a poor implementation of transitional justice in Brazil.
