Abstract

This paper analyzes the discursive response of the Presidents of the Republic, the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate to the demonstrations of June 2013. Understanding discourse as an essential tool of the political process, the text analyzes the use of elements such as logos, ethos and pathos in the pronouncements of these three trustees. The conclusions show that the three representatives opted for different ways of manifesting themselves, but there are many similarities from the point of view of the content and the discursive strategies that consist of defending and legitimizing the political system and naturalizing the idea that the protests “are normal and in a democracy“. Demonstrators, in turn, questioned institutional power, complained about representative democracy, and denied the legitimacy of political institutions and representatives.
