| Consolidated democracy |
|
 The last municipal elections placed Brazil on the path to consolidating democracy and its party system. The assessment is by professor and political scientist Bruno Speck (in the highlight), from the Institute of Philosophy and Human Sciences at Unicamp (IFCH). The increase in participation of the voter in comparison to the last two elections, the large number of votes for parties and the balance of forces are, in Speck's opinion, indicators that place the country as “one of the pillars of democracy in Latin America”.
