On Thursday night, in the Cinépolis Recoleta Complex Room in Buenos Aires, the recall of the historical statements of former Deputy Ulysses Guimarães further valued the timeliness of Brazil and Argentina.
Standing against more than 100 people in the audience, Brazil Ambassador Julio Bitelli recalled the incisive speeches of the memorable ‘Ulysses’ speech, as he was called, in promulgating the 1988 Federal Constitution. “Society was Rubens Paiva. Not the fascinators who killed him.” Doctor Ulysses (1916-1992) also said he had “hatred and disgust of the dictatorship.”
In his speech, Bitelli thanked Walter Salles’s film “I’m Still Here”, and journalist Sylvia Colombo, columnist of Folha de São Paulo, who had the idea of the projection of the work and the debate in Argentina. The public, from Argentine teachers of Brazilian literature, academics, students, historians, business executives that connects the two countries, watched the film in silence. And applauded at the end of the exhibition.
The projection of the masterpiece that gave Brazil the first foreign film Oscar occurred in a remarkable week for the democracy of both countries. On Monday, the 24th, the Argentines remembered the 49th anniversary of the 1976 military coup in the country. The dictatorship lasted until 1983, when Raúl Alfonsín (1927-2009) was elected by direct and popular vote.
On Monday, a crowd concentrated in front of Casa Rosada, the headquarters of the Argentine presidency, to say “never again”-phrase also erected by the young people who formed columns that came out of the ex-edge (dark dictatorship center of torture) to May Square. It was an act on National Memory Day for the truth and justice that also became a scream of repudiation of those present to the Milei government.
Opinion polls indicate that Milei has about 40% popular support. He was elected with almost 56% of the votes. His negative image, but rose after the cryptocurrency Libra scandal. This year, four demonstrations have already been held against the president. The first in January against its statements made at the Davos Economic Forum associating homosexuals with pedophilia. The others were in defense of the demands of retirees and the most recent on Monday against dictatorship and democracy.
In a telephone conversation with Andrei Román, from Atlas Intel, he said that the scenario for Milei changed after cryptocurrency and that his backing depends, to a large extent, the health of the economy and the results of his economic measures. Román also noted that there is no for the electorate, however, a visible and attractive leader in the opposition.
At the end of the projection of “I’m still here”, a video of jurist Luis Moreno Ocampo was shown, who joined the trial of Argentina military dictators. “The young Brazilians who were born 20, 30 years ago do not know what happened and the film shows them what happened. It is the miracle of the cinema. The film director (Walter Salles) presents to Brazil and the world the possibility of understanding what happened. And at a crucial time for Brazil where, at the same time, when former President Bolsonaro should be investigated or not by the conflicts of January eight,” he said.
This week, the first class of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) ruled that former President Jair Bolsonaro and seven allies, including three generals, to be in the defendant bank. This is the first time generals have been tried by civil justice. The fact occurred a few days after the 40th anniversary of the return of democracy – March 15, 1985 – in Brazil. The Argentine film “1985”, with actor Ricardo Darín, addresses the challenges of the process and civil judgment against the Argentine military dictators in 1985.
In his comments, after the screening of the movie “I’m Still Here”, journalist Ariel Palacios, Globo News correspondent in Argentina, recalled, in detail, the history of dictatorships in the Southern Cone countries. When asked if the past should not be left behind, she replied that forgetting it would be to allow reprinting the repudiable facts and impunity.
