Em junho de 2013, o Movimento Passe Livre (MPL) iniciou uma série de protestos, em São Paulo, contra o aumento de vinte centavos nas tarifas de ônibus e metrô.
Em pouco tempo, as manifestações ganharam uma dimensão inesperada. E mesmo depois de Estado e Prefeitura terem voltado atrás com o aumento, as ruas continuaram inflamadas por passeatas, numa ebulição popular inédita no país.
As pautas se multiplicaram. O combate à corrupção e a demanda por melhores serviços públicos no geral passaram a engrossar o coro das ruas.
Até que, no final de 2014, as cores das manifestações foram mudando. Um movimento que era essencialmente progressista ganhou ares nacionalistas, conservadores e anti-partidários.
Grupos recém-criados como o Movimento Brasil Livre (MBL) e o Movimento Vem Pra Rua, passaram cooptar essa insatisfação popular difusa que culminaria no impeachment de Dilma Roussef. E que seria um dos vários fatores que colaboraram para a eleição do governo de extrema-direita de Jair Bolsonaro.
Como isso aconteceu? Como o Passe Livre conseguiu transformar uma pauta única num protesto nacional? Como grupos de direita, notadamente o Movimento Brasil Livre (MBL) se apropriaram das manifestações? Quem financiou esses grupos? Como a direita foi capaz de canalizar o sentimento de revolta e por que a esquerda não conseguiu retomar as ruas desde então?
