A renda básica como direito fundamental sociassistencial e instrumento de combate a sindemias: reflexões no contexto da emergência sanitária de Covid-19 no Brasil

Abstract

The health crisis provoked by the coronavirus hit Brazil hard during a period marked by measures to contain public spending, interrupting the signs of slow economic recovery and paralyzing several production sectors. Not only that, the interaction between Covid-19, communicable and non-transmissible diseases, and the structural social problems present and prominent in Brazilian society revealed an even more worrying scenario, exacerbating the adverse effects that each of these factors has on the population and reaching the status of "syndemia," requiring a change in approach to this great arrangement in the face of the mark of more than 200,000 deaths from the disease in Brazilian territory even before one year. The present work sought, through descriptive research based on the analysis and verification of facts and phenomena related to the theme in the course of 2020, to address these issues and their association to the Brazilian social protection network, permanent and emergency, reflecting from the basic income of citizenship - a model of wealth redistribution widely discussed at the international level and already positive in Brazil - its contributions to the improvement of the social factor in the union equation, using, for this purpose, a bibliographic review from the conception of the idea with Thomas More, to the most current propositions such as those of Eduardo Suplicy, Philippe Van Parijs and Guy Standing.
