Abstract:
This article analyzes the role and political propositions of Congressman Alberto Guerreiro Ramos (1915-1982) in the critical juncture preceding the civil-military coup of 1964. The research is referenced in speeches made by the representative between August 1963 and April 1964 and proposes the study of the main topics contained in these pronouncements. Three aspects are highlighted in the text: its restructuring project of the Brazilian Labor Party, of which he was an important member; his views in defense of democratic socialism; and his external criticism of the right wings and the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB). In the final considerations, a brief analysis about the political and intellectual legacy of Alberto Guerreiro Ramos is presented.
