Republic, Democracy and Citizenship in pandemic times: A Note on the Brazilian situation

Abstract

The article discusses the relationship between republic, democracy and citizenship in Brazil in the context of the covid-19 global pandemic. It argues that social inequalities can be aggravated with the expansion of the virus's range of action, while some gaps are pointed out that can be a starting point for overcoming the situation. Such possibilities are linked to the strengthening of republican and democratic ideals.
