Resumo: Before the 2018 Brazilian presidential elections, candidate Jair Bolsonaro offered a bold message on corruption control. Among his promises, Bolsonaro vowed to promote government transparency, dismiss any member of his team accused of corruption, and defend the country’s institutions of accountability. Bolsonaro also offered to support a once-popular legislative reform proposal known as the Ten Measures Against Corruption. However, it is worth cautioning that anticorruption as a rhetorical device has been a near-permanent feature of the Brazilian political landscape. In this article, we seek to compare Bolsonaro’s campaign promises with his early actions as president. The evidence shows that, months after the 2018 elections, President Bolsonaro has failed the anticorruption mandate on which he was elected.

Entre as promessas que fez, comprometeu-se a promover a transparência no governo, demitir qualquer integrante de sua equipe acusado de corrupção e defender as instituições de controle no país. Também ofereceu apoio ao então popular projeto de lei conhecido como Dez Medidas Contra a Corrupção. No entanto, é importante alertar que o discurso anticorrupção, como um artifício retórico, é uma característica quase permanente do cenário político brasileiro há anos. Neste artigo, comparamos as promessas de campanha de Bolsonaro com suas ações enquanto presidente. Os dados indicam que, meses após as eleições de 2018, o presidente Bolsonaro falhou na promessa de um mandato anticorrupção para o qual foi eleito.Escola de Direito de São Paulo da Fundação Getulio Vargas2021-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/revdireitogv/article/view/85031Revista Direito GV; Vol. 17 No. 2 (2021): maio-ago.
