Abstract

This paper examines the actions that led to the condemnation, arrest and impediment of the candidacy for the presidency in 2018 of the former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, taking as reference the concept of event understood as violence, as well as the dimensions of violence in politics. The events surrounding Lula have been identified as practices of lawfare, legal warfare with media participation that aims to undermine people or institutions. Theoretically, we take notions of events and the relations between politics and violence. As a methodology, in addition to conceptual review, we used a set of news that addressed the events involving Lula.
