SUMMARY:

In the context of the rise of the far right in Brazil, there has been a significant alignment of public security sectors, especially the Military Police, with the Bolsonaro discourse, raising questions about the roots of this adherence and the role that military training and socialization play in shaping the political practices and discourses of these agents. This dissertation discusses the moral grammar of Bolsonaro-supporting military police officers in order to understand the relationship between their military training and their adherence to Bolsonarism. To this end, we start with the following questions: What are the profiles and political trajectories of the Bolsonarosupporting military police officers elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 2022? How is the moral grammar that influences the feelings, actions, and discourses of the Bolsonaro-supporting military police officers elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 2022 configured? In what way were their political actions shaped by their socialization as military police officers? To answer these questions, we chose as the empirical field of investigation the publications posted on Facebook by these parliamentarians during the electoral campaign (August 16 to October 1, 2022) and in the preJanuary 8 period (October 30, 2022 to January 8, 2023). Through the combination of Content Analysis techniques on the posts, we observed that moral conservatism, the exaltation of the leader, punitivism, and anti-PT sentiments are the central semantic frames in the analyzed discourses. The analysis of the relationship between this semantic horizon and the training context of military police officers in Brazil shows that there is not simply a co-optation of military police officers by Bolsonarism, but their active participation in the structuring of this political movement, which is primarily supported by the grammars of social discrimination that underpin the informal norms of policing practice — arbitrary, authoritarian, and exclusionary — which contradict the constitutional expectations regarding the police’s duty to guarantee citizens' rights.
