Descripción
In the last few years street demonstrations broke out in Brazil as well as in other Latin American countries to protest against major corruption scandals. Various scholars studying the case of Brazil have argued that the economic recession was one of the conditions triggering publi's reaction against corruption scandals (MELO, 2016; HAGOPIAN, 2016), as public opinion might tolerate corruption during times of economic boom -when government social programs can be expanded- but they are less likely to accept it during times of economic recession (BALAN, 2014). This article uses data from the LAPOP surveys 2010 to show that there is a systematic link between corruption -perception and victimization- and participation in protests, even in times of economic growth. Two possible mechanisms are discussed. Results suggest that the link between corruption and protests is not conditional to the economic cycle.

Vários pesquisadores que estudam o caso do Brasil argumentaram que a recessão econômica foi uma das condições que desencadearam a reação do público contra os escândalos de corrupção (MELO, 2016; HAGOPIAN, 2016), considerando que a opinião pública pode tolerar a corrupção em tempos de boom econômico – quando os programas sociais do governo podem ser expandidos – mas são menos propensos a aceitá-la em tempos de recessão econômica (BALAN, 2014). Este artigo utiliza dados da pesquisa LAPOP 2010 para mostrar que existe uma relação sistemática entre corrupção – percepção e vitimização – e participação em protestos, mesmo em tempos de crescimento econômico, no qual são discutidos dois possíveis mecanismos. Os resultados sugerem que o vínculo entre corrupção e participação em protestos não está condicionado pelo ciclo econômico.
