| Sumario: | This work addresses a debate concerning a redistributive public policy formulated to address historically maintained inequalities within Brazil's institutional framework. The central question presented is understanding the trajectory of public policy formulation in the country as a process of improving the concept of citizenship, with the Bolsa Família Program serving as a foundation to support this argumentation. Through analysis, interpretation, and connection with academic texts, the primary purpose of this article is to demystify some fallacies disseminated in Brazilian society, which seek to undermine the program's effectiveness by labeling it as a populist and electioneering initiative. In conclusion, we find that tackling inequalities requires measures that go beyond income redistribution programs. |
