Towards the centre: PT and Lula's government in Brazil

Lula's administration represented the ultimate step of a process of circulation of elites in Brazil: the national power was gathered by a group of leaders who came from the social sectors historically excluded from the direct access to the country's government. In addition, it was consolidated a centrist bipolarization between PT and PSDB, the former at the center-to-the-left and the last one at the center, however attracting the most conservative social sectors who were deprived of a partisan right that was capable of represent them in the national government political contests.
