SUMMARY:

This research will analyze the constitution of populist discourse and its influence on representative institutions. This is a construction about a real problem from the perspective of the far-right party movement in the government of Jair Bolsonaro (2019/2022). The concern with preserving constitutional democratic stability is a constant throughout the narrative. Initially, we started with the following question: what motivated people to choose Jair Bolsonaro? One of the hypotheses lies in the influence of populist discourse. We believe that the persuasive power of this discourse on people immediately reaches democratic institutions, which becomes a very
important variable at this moment that foresees, through the conjunctural chain, the concrete possibility of an institutional rupture occurring. The research was constructed with two chapters. In the first chapter, in the search for a link between cause and effect, conceptually, we think about “crises”, analyzing them from three dimensions: economic, political and cultural, with a critical rest on comparative constitutional law. In the second chapter, the analysis will focus on endogenous elements, such as the use of post-truth, and its use in the formation of collective opinion. We will always use the comparative-descriptive method which, in our opinion, is best suited to the search for distinguishing the causes that give rise to crises, allowing us to diagnose the root of the motivating problem and weave a broad and refined perspective, without minimizing what exists in the subjacency, and, following a revealed trajectory, at least glimpse its extension and scope. We find, in Przeworski, the conceptual basis, in a minimalist and electoral perspective of democratic crises. With Daniel Ziblatt and Steven Levitsky, we will see the importance of preserving constitutional norms and institutional reservation. Manuel Castells leads us to an analysis of ruptures based on the crisis of legitimacy that forms the validation of the popular will. We were also supported by Juliano Zaiden Benvindo in his The Rule of Law in Brazil (2022), contributing with the most contemporary information on constitutionality and institutions. We conclude that populist discourse is an instrument of political manipulation, consisting of elements such as post-truth and fake news, implying the conception of collective decisions that can result in the definition of sociopolitical acts such as elections. Consequently, its use leads with high probability to a subsequent experience of collapse of the constitutional democratic design.
