Contrarreformas e Recuo Civilizatório: Um Breve Balanço Do Governo Temer

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the conjuncture in a historical
moment of continuous attacks and of great magnitude, undertaken by the
coup government of Michel Temer since 2016. To this end, we present the
main measures to resume the rates of profit of capital: the dismantling of
social policies; the private advance on the resources of the public fund,
especially with regard to public debt and tax exemptions, and the consequent
exacerbation of the expressions of the “social question”. In the first item,
through the presentation of the recent PNAD / IBGE data, we demonstrate
the serious setback to the guarantee of fundamental social rights and draw
attention to the rupture with the “social pact” implemented in the Federal
Constitution of 1988. In the end, a brief review of the relationship between
the current counter-reforms and the process of financialisation of the public
fund through the proposed “reform” of social security.
