Abstract

This article presents information on some of the national and international organizations that are articulating the protests against the Brazilian federal government and, specifically, the Workers’ Party. It highlights the role of institutions that seek to shape public opinion, the so-called think tanks. The article presents some preliminary evidence for understanding a business and communications network, as well as intellectuals who are acting on the contemporary political stage, through an analysis of documents and a critical reading of websites and blogs.
