A Un mes de disgusto:

la actuación de los periódicos Tribuna da Imprensa e Última Hora en la crisis de agosto de 1954

Abstract

Getúlio Vargas took office as president of the republic for the second time in 1951, assuming  a  democratic  government.  However,  his  new  government  was  marked by  great  political  instability,  due  to  strong  opposition  from  the  National  Democratic Union (UDN) and from the press. In this sense, the purpose of this work is to verify the power of the press in the historical field, highlighting its influence in the construction of political  events.  This  understanding  will  be  made  here,  through  the  analysis  of  the Tribuna da  Imprensa and Última  Hora newspapers,  during  the  crisis  presented  in  the second Getúlio Vargas government, trying to understand how the interests defended by them  influenced  the  political  course  at  that  time,  which  had  the  troubled  ending,  with the suicide of the president on August 24, 1954.
