Democracy crystallizes in state policies and institutions. In particular, the law from which the Federal Network of Public Education originated safeguards its democracy, through the inner value of education, the proposed humanistic curriculum, and the processes of the Rector’s election. In this sense, through a descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, we sought to reflect on the performance of the Executive Power, in the face of crucial moments for the maintenance of democracy in the institutions of the Federal Network of Public Education. The objective of this article is to verify the existence or indications of interference in the processes of choosing Rectors between the years 2018 and 2021. The study found as main evidence the use of a delay strategy for the nomination of an elected candidate and autocratic practices such as clientelism, lawfare, and the attempt of political rigging of education institutions. Keywords: Autocracy. Executive Power. Federal Network of Public Education.
