SANTOS, FABIANO; TANSCHEIT, T. . Quando velhos atores saem de cena: a ascensão da nova direita política no Brasil. COLOMBIA INTERNACIONAL, v. 1, p. 151-186, 2019.
Research focused on analyzing the strategy employed by the “moderate right” to gain power during two events considered key for the “changing of the guard” in the Brazilian right: the impeachment of president Dilma Rousseff in 2016 and the right’s participation in Michel Temer’s unpopular government between 2016 and 2018. To explain the rupture with the party system in place for the last 25 years, structured around the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB), the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB) and the Workers’ Party (PT), we can point to the recent politicization of corruption scandals, notably the impacts of operation Lava Jato, on the country’s three main parties.
