The military coup of April 1, 1964 inaugurated a long period of authoritarianism, repression, abuse and violence in the country. Officially, the regime lasted 21 years. But its echoes and consequences are felt to this day, intensified by the recent authoritarian deviations of the Jair Bolsonaro government, which culminated in the failed attempt at uprising and seizure of power on January 8, 2023. The resurgence of speeches (and actions) of character authoritarianism ended up expanding the symbolic dimension of the 60th anniversary of the civil-military movement, further reinforcing the importance of the events planned to reflect and address the deeds and effects of the coup.
