Vortrag von LEILA BIJOS, Brasilien

Implementing change brought by protest and dissent in brazil

 

This lecture looks at the effect of Dilma’s Rousseff impeachment in 2016 in Brazil, the impact of Labor Party erosion with the change of government with Michel Temer, from Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB), vice-president assuming the government; and the evidences of corruption in the previous government led by President Luís Inácio Lula da Silva. The citizens felt shocked by the deviation of public money, during the twelve years of Labor Party (PT) in power and the deteriorating of civil-law jurisdictions, as well as problems with education, employment, housing, health systems, violence against women. The research challenges this view by documenting and explaining the growing protests of the organized civil society in Brazil since the inauguration of the Soccer Stadiums in 2013.
