Bolsonaro seeks to revise how Brazil's schools teach on coup. By Marcelo Da Souza | Associated Press
“Education Minister Ricardo Velez Rodriguez says he will introduce changes in school textbooks so children will get a ”true idea“ of that era, describing the de facto government that took over after the coup as a ”democratic regime of force.“ Velez Rodriguez argued that Brazil adopted a ”democratic regime of force because it was necessary at the time“ to block the rise of communism.
The government's telegram said ”there was not a coup d'etat but a legitimate political movement“ that was supported by a majority of Brazilians to deal with ”the growing threat of a communist takeover“ and ”terrorist organizations.“
What a bunch of liars. ”Bolsonaro says Brazil and the US stand side by side “against fake news” “Brazil’s far-right president Bolsonaro falsely claims Nazism was a ‘leftist’ movement”
“While interest in the history of the PCB declines after 1958, it becomes even more scarce during the administration of President João Goulart. In this period the PCB is only cited in a superficial manner. In addition to the generalized expressions which see it as part of the 'left' of the time,”

That's a relief! Now everyone will know that the coup - democratic regime of force - efficiently helped the economy to go plunging into a Death-Spiral + generously contributed towards the Hyper-Inflation!

It's also a great relief; that the earth is FLAT after all! And by the way, where is the Super-Salesman Queiroz?
