According to the graph, Brazil is a democracy since 1987. Actually, after the 1964 coup, our first civil president was appointed in 1985 but first general direct elections only occurred in 1989.
- marcosdumay 5y agoBrazil being Brazil, it's very hard to pick a number. We can argue endlessly about what a mess the process was, and if the results did reflect the electors wishes. But the people did elect delegates, that met and decided on a president. Formally, that is a perfectly valid election (that started by 82, and only really ended in 87 - that's an entire mandate duration with the delegates not really deciding on it).
