In early June 2013, dozens students and public transportation users took to the streets in various parts of Brazil to protest against increases in public transportation fares. After a week and a half of demonstrations, the protests not only spread to large and medium-sized cities, but also took on a broader character, covering issues such as severe police repression against protesters, and the right to protest. Thereafter, general support for protesters increased when excessive police force was documented on social media and on alternative media sites. With this growing support, the focus of the protests expanded again to address the poor quality of public services, public sector mismanagement, government corruption and the immense public investment in "mega-events" such as the World Cup in 2014 and the 2016 Olympic Games. Known as the June Days of 2013 (JJ-2013), this protest movement was the second largest wave of demonstrations held in the country after the end of military dictatorship (1985) and symbolized the end of the political quietness that had long anesthetized political mobilizations in the country. The return of marches to the streets and squares represented the rediscovery of the potency of the street (and open spaces in the city) as a political space. Based on this premise, it is argued here that the street, a space of political confrontation and political action, has a political potency to institute effects - political impacts. In this perspective, this work analyzes the relationship and the connection between the streets and the spaces of the constituted powers. The main objective is to assess and make a balance between the demands of the protesters and their repercussions in institutional spaces. For this, a thorough analysis was carried out, based on the survey of legislative measures and proposals announced and adopted by the legislative and executive powers during the period from June to December 2013. After eight years since the end of JJ-2013, it also sought to evaluate the sustainability or durability of the instituted political impacts related to the demonstrations.
