“Thousands of people protested on the streets in Brazil’s major cities against the celebration of the 55 anniversary of the military coup in the country.”
“the President of Jair Bolsonaros orders to the armed forces to mark the anniversary of the 31 march when the military overthrew president João Goulart in 1964, has received wide criticism. And the plans to mark the anniversary was preceded by a legal game.”
“First put the judge Ivani Silva da Luz stop. He said that the plans to celebrate was not compatible with the constitution, which establishes that the kind of anniversaries must first be approved by the congress.”
“That decision was lifted later by the judge Maria do Carmo Cardoso, who accepted the regernigens argument that Brazil’s democracy is stable enough and can handle”
“Bolsonaro is Brazil’s first president who openly has praised the military dictatorship, since democracy was restored in 1985. At least 434 people were killed or disappeared during the dictatorship which lasted for 21 years.”
