THE SHATTERING OF THE LEFT CONSENSUS IN THE BRAZILIAN PARLIAMENT: from the 1988 Constituent Assembly to the rise of Jair Bolsonaro in 2018

The work aims to verify how a supposed “left consensus” presented in the Brazilian Parliament since the Constituent Assembly of 1988 has appeared in recent years. Through the confrontation of research results that adopt methodologies based on the self-declaration of the parties, on the opinion of experts, and on the perception of the electorate, one concludes that there was a clear disruption of the so-called “right self-repression”, mainly after the rise of Dilma Rousseff, in 2010, and after the great protestations in June 2013, reaching Jair Bolsonaro election in 2018.
