Perspectivas no cenário brasileiro

This article wishes to present an evaluation of political relationships in Brasil since the 2006 presidential elections. We shall focus on the role of popular movements, as well as various left-wing parties and organizations which are reluctant to break with political traditions inherited from the 1980's, and which are characterized by a process of political degeneration of leftist parties and by its spreading to segments of grassroot movements. Another consequence of this degeneration is the rift between working classes and left wing parties so as to allow the latter better infiltration into the electoral market, itself vitiated by the many informal requirements for campaign financing
