Abstract

This work seeks to reflect on the complexity of the political coup implemented in a troubled moment of Brazilian policy against President Dilma Rousseff in 2016, we will reflect such complexity through letters to the reader of Veja magazine. In this context, we observe the dynamics that involves interests in the following economic, social and political perspectives that eventually allowed and legitimized action in Brazilian democracy that was weakened, characterized by a set of factors in the order of discourse that favored "extralegal" actions in the political crisis scenario. With this, we chose to analyze this prism in a Brazilian press that had significant participation at that time and that served as support and legitimization of the aforementioned coup. To this end, we divide this chapter into three interrelated moments. In the first we will discuss the tense political moment and the social role of this journal. In the second we will make a theoretical debate about Brazilian politics and press and in the third we will try to present the complexity of "motivations" that unveil the action of VEJA in the context under consideration.
