Negacionismo politico: um estudo de casos dos movimentos de extrema direita no Brasil em 2022.

Abstract

This course conclusion work carries out a case study on the far-right social movement called "Movimento Brasil Livre Eleitoral", which saw the participation of civilians and military personnel in demonstrations against the result of the 2022 presidential elections. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was elected president of the Republic. The study focuses on the demonstrations that questioned the legitimacy of electronic voting machines and, by extension, Brazilian democracy, analyzing how these actions reflect political, militaristic and authoritarian obsessions present in Brazil from the 20th century to the present day. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, based on the interpretative analysis of speeches, behaviors and actions conveyed on social networks, interviews, and historical documents. The main sources used include journalistic records, reports from digital monitoring institutions, academic publications and legislation relevant to the context. The results show how these movements, supported by discourses of political denialism and conspiracy theories widely spread on social media, contribute to the consolidation of authoritarian and manipulable ideological thinking. It is concluded that the actions of these groups represent a persistent challenge to Brazil's democratic stability, indicating a path that demands increased attention to strengthening democratic institutions and promoting critical and informed citizenship.
