We investigate young people’s views on the political situation, especially in Brazil, after the so-called June protests. In a scenario marked by the social and economic crisis of capitalism, we wanted to understand how students of a working-class university preparatory course related to the current political context. Interviews were carried out and interpreted based on dialectical and historical materialism. We noticed that participants do not see a concrete path to overcoming the problems of the present conjuncture, namely: the existence of a conservative wave and government corruption; both associated to attacks on social rights. Generally speaking, political parties and social movements do not appear on the horizon of participation. Similarly, elections were not seen as a path to achieving popular demands, corroborating the notion of a crisis of political representation, aggravated by the lack of alternatives to the political establishment.
