A influência dos doadores de campanha nos rumos da política urbana do Rio de Janeiro: o caso Porto Maravilha

Abstract

The objective of this work was to reflect on the role of private companies in the decision making process of the city of Rio de Janeiro, based on the evidence that the companies donors of resources for the campaign of Eduardo Paes (PMDB) to the City of Rio de Janeiro have participation important in the Porto Maravilha project. This happens within a context influenced by the strategic planning, concept of dominant city management in the capital of Rio de Janeiro today. The methodology used was the bibliographic review and data collection of campaign donations provided by the Superior Electoral Court. The data show that the companies winning the bidding for the Porto Maravilha project donated huge resources to PMDB, the party of Mayor Eduardo Paes. The conclusion is that, even if these transactions were done within the law, this type of financing needs to be evaluated in the light of democratic principles, which are shaken when most of the country's electoral financing is done by large companies.
