“…After a 3.8% contraction in 2015 (Ribeiro, Visoná and Cassota 2016), projections of the Ministry of the Treasury pointed to a 3.5% reduction in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at the end of 2016 (Marchesini 2016). Also, for the second year in a row, the public sector closed 2016 with a significant deficit: R$ 155.791 billion, equivalent to 2.47% of the GDP (Campos and Bonfanti 2016).…”

The year 2016 was marked by the deepening of the crisis that interrupted two decades of unusual political stability in Brazil. Although it has been the most significant event, Dilma Rousseff's impeachment did little to "stop the bleeding," as was shown by the subsequent arrest of the former president of the Chamber of Deputies, Eduardo Cunha (PMDB), and the unfolding of Operation Car Wash (Lava Jato). Besides the economic problems, the Brazilian political system also faced a serious crisis of legitimacy: the main parties were put in check, and a period of uncertainty regarding electoral and partisan competition opened up. In this article, we will review the sequence of the events, exploring some of the factors that explain it, and, aware of the fact that we are in the middle of process with an undefined outcome, we would like to take advantage of the opportunity to resume the debate on the performance of Brazilian democracy as well its perspectives.Key words: democracy, presidentialism, political crisis, presidential interruption, Brazil RESUMEN El año 2016 estuvo marcado por la profundización de una crisis que interrumpió dos déca-das de inusual estabilidad política en Brasil.

“…En Brasil, las elecciones de 2018 pusieron fin a una legislatura convulsa e inestable. Los escándalos de corrupción, la crisis económica y el enfrentamiento con diferentes sectores del gobierno y legislativo propiciaron un escenario favorable a un impechment a la presidenta Roussef que acabó con la salida de ésta de la presidencia de Brasil (Ribeiro et al, 2016;Goldstein, 2016).

La competición electoral siempre ha generado diferentes trabajos en torno a la configuración de la representación política o las actitudes que tiene la ciudadanía con respecto al contexto electoral desde diversas perspectivas. No obstante, el foco en los programas políticos no ha sido un tema central para los estudios de la competición electoral. El objetivo de este trabajo es demostrar que es posible identificar empíricamente una diferenciación programática entre los principales competidores en las elecciones presidenciales de Argentina (2019), Brasil (2018) y Chile (2017), en los índices de conflicto político ideológico, socioeconómico y sociocultural; y, además, que esta diferenciación fue la que determinó los resultados electorales en los tres comicios estudiados.

“…After President Dilma eked out a reelection victory against Aécio Neves (PMDB) in October 2014, the opposition remained in a state of permanent campaign, calling for a vote recount and casting doubt on the validity of the results (Ribeiro et al 2016). Eduardo Cunha (PMDB), who became president of the Chamber of Deputies in the new legislative session, worked to undermine the PT's coalition (Nunes and Melo 2017).…”

This was a year of dramatic changes in Brazilian politics, as the established parties and actors that had dominated Brazilian politics for two decades were humbled. The year began with the administration of the extremely unpopular, lame duck President Michel Temer, and ended awaiting the inauguration of far-rightist President Jair Bolsonaro on January 1 st , 2019. In this article, we describe and analyze the major events of 2018 in Brazilian politics. From the perspective of legislative and executive productivity, the year was largely uneventful, as President Michel Temer had spent most of his political capital mustering the legislative votes needed to avoid prosecution for corruption. Yet transformations were afoot in parties and civil society. Three of the country's most traditionally important parties-the PT, PMDB, and PSDB-were decimated, and the PT's icon and standard-bearer Lula da Silva imprisoned. Meanwhile, the right and far-right grew in importance, and Jair Bolsonaro won the presidency with the sponsorship of the previously extremely small Social Liberal Party (PSL).
