The arrival of Jair Bolsonaro to the presidency has opened several questions regarding the conditions of the democratic regime in Brazil. Not only for what his figure as a political personality implies, but also for the historical process that allowed his electoral victory and for the cultural, institutional transformations and the relevance of certain actors that manifest themselves in the period. In this sense, this article analyzes two aspects that make the singularity of the mandate that begins: the new ideological social orientations and the overrepresentation of the military in the government, on the one hand, and the changes occurred in the structure of the public powers, with highlight to the phenomenon of lawfare or legal war, on the other. The focus placed on these two dimensions does not detract from other points of view but is decisive when establishing a characterization of Brazilian democracy and to be able to speculate on its conditions of stability.

Keywords : Bolsonaro; democracy; military; lawfare.
