Social Assistance in the covid-19 pandemic: protection for whom?

Abstract:

The article analyzes the trends in social assistance in Brazil in this context of covid-19, which favors cash transfer programs with values far below social needs, which aggravate the condition of structural social inequality, deepened by ultraneoliberalism and neo-fascism in Brazil. This perverse, morbid and toxic combination took us to the place that we occupy today in the pandemic, but it is a fact that such a project already finds a country torn apart by the economic and social crisis.
