Arrepentimendos, olvidos y silencios. Nueva lectura del apoyo periodistico al Golpe de estado de 1964 en Brasil
Abstract
In 2013, the Brazilian newspaper «O Globo» recognized as a “historic mistake” having supported the ouster in 1964 of the president of constitutional Brazil João Goulart. In its trip back in the past, «O Globo» joined several fellow travelers, like other newspapers and also remember the support that part of Brazilian society offered to the military intervention. What led an even powerful and influential holding to to recognize a position assumed position fifty years before as wrong? We seek to recreate the main arguments for the coup d’état expounded by the sectors more facing to Goulart and visualize how they contributed to the formation of a new alliance of the dominant sectors that soon showed its limits.
