Abstract

This article proposes an analysis of the risk of Brazilian democracy being reduced to symbolism in view of the growth of authoritarian discourse in the country’s political scenario today. The inductive logical method was used, with bibliographic review and critical appraisal. In the end, it was proposed that the surveillance of the social effectiveness of democracy stems from the very popular action to defend the ownership and possession of its sovereignty.
