This study is appealing to a situational analysis of the causes and effects of political confrontation occurred in Brazil in June 2013. Identifies the main actors involved during the demonstrations and the coming confrontation between elements of civil society and political system. We emphasize that for the analysis of this phenomenon we used the vast literature responsible for the issue of collective action and social movements. It is understood that the causes of June 2013 are inserted in a context of collective outrage involving social movements, political actors, media and ordinary people. Indeed, the protests have revealed forms of activism with numerous practices that are embedded in a group ideology, a fixed or temporary identity in a structural or historical context, as well as in public protest forms, where the political confrontation is culturally inscribed and socially statement. Thus, according to this study, interpret June 2013 is a theoretical and tireless exercise to understand which way social activism and collective action in contemporary society and the consequences that these events have generated in society and the Brazilian political agenda.
