In a scene of consensus-building and dissimulation of violence against social movement, the article discusses the repressive action of the State and the process of criminalization of social movements in Brazil. Considers that the State, in the face of successive crises, uses its media resources and discursive, and of course the coercive, to create a consensus around the measures to be taken to combat the crisis, calling the whole society to engage on this journey. However, it presents to society the workers' resistance to neoliberal policies as a police case or reaction of a group of troublemakers who insist on disturbing the peace, or do not cooperate with the efforts of the "nation" to overcome or prevent the effects of economic crises nationally.
