Did the left come to power?
For political scientist Leôncio Martins Rodrigues (photo), professor at the Institute of Philosophy and Human Sciences (IFCH) at Unicamp, the answer is: not yet. According to Leôncio, who is preparing a new study on the correlations of forces in Congress, the new government's main dilemma lies precisely in the fact that, while the left was entrusted with the management of social problems, the economy is commanded by people trusted by the market. and the business sector. Its heterogeneity thus reveals a government that is ideologically divided and often paralyzed by the clash of ideas. And the worst thing is that, “if you opt for the left, the most likely scenario will be an institutional crisis”, assesses Leôncio. |
