    The country’s political system suffers from a crisis of legitimacy

    SAO PAULO, BRAZIL - MARCH 18: Special Forces police use water cannon to clear the Avenida Paulista, the main avenue of the city of Sao Paulo, where protesters demonstrate against the appointment of former President Lula to a ministerial position on March 18, 2016, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva had his temporary detention requested by the prosecutor of Sao Paulo for alleged involvement in funding shifts and corruption. A telephone recording between President Dilma Rousseff and former President Lula was released by the Federal Police, which seems to suggest that he was appointed into the cabinet in an attempt to avoid prosecution in the corruption scandal.
