An ever-unfolding corruption scandal, with new pleas in the past weeks implicating major party leaders and Temer himself, has also increased public discontent and puts the country in a state of uncertainty until the 2018 general elections. 
Skendo ya rusha ambayo haikuweza kukwepeka, na madokezo yanayohusisha baadhi ya viongozi wa vyama vikubwa akiwemo Temer mwenyewe, imeongeza hali ya kutoridhika kwa umma na kuiweka nchi katika hali ya sintofahamu mpaka utakapofanyika uchaguzi mkuu mwingine mnamo 2018.
