| description | The coronavirus pandemic is the result of a political and economic model that generates environmental, economic and social degradation, which at the same time, aggravates the crises it generates, producinga vicious circle. Its occurrence revealed structural, political and economic problems, which explained the great challenges that humanity, in general, and Latin America, in particular, need to face in order to overcome the current model. Brazil represents a paradigmatic case for discussing the perverse effects of the political and economic model on democracy and the effectiveness of economic, social, cultural, and environmental rights (ESCR). This is especially true in a country whose institutional design of thethree powers and legal culture do not favour the protection of fundamental rights. This is evidenced by the way in which the pandemic was confronted by an autocratic government. In addition to the difficulties of the powers that be to contain the perverse effects of the abusive practices of the former leader. |

La pandemia del coronavirus es fruto de un modelo político y económico que genera degradación ambiental, económica y social lo que, a su vez, agrava las crisis que él mismo genera, en un círculo vicioso. Su ocurrenciareveló problemas estructurales de la política y de la economía y sirve para explicitar los grandes desafíos que la humanidad, en general, y América Latina, en particular, necesitan enfrentar para la superación delmodelo vigente. Brasil representa un caso paradigmático para discutir los efectos perversos del modelo político y económico para la democracia y la efectividad de los derechos económicos, sociales, culturalesy ambientales (DESCA) en un país cuyo diseño institucional de los tres poderes y la cultura jurídica y política no favorecen la protección de los derechos fundamentales, lo que quedó evidenciado por la forma comose dio el enfrentamiento de la pandemia por un gobierno de perfil autocrático y por las dificultades de los demás poderes para contener los efectos perversos de las prácticas abusivas del dirigente de ocasión.
