Abstract

This article aims to understand the perceptions of young members of social and student groups about the quality of democracy in the Bolsonaro administration, focusing on the concept of «government performance» in terms of its relation with society and institutions, as well as its crisis management of Covid-19 pandemic. Data were collected in the heat of events and were analyzed through a univariate descriptive statistical analysis. It is observed that, to the eyes of young people, the figure of Bolsonaro as a «myth» turned out to be an autocratic figure of authority that causes fear and legal insecurity in the country, resulting in a democracy perceived as weakened and disrespected.

Keywords:

YOUTH, DEMOCRACY, BOLSONARO GOVERNMENT.
