| Resumo: | The purpose of this text is to analyze Carlos Lacerda's participation in the political transition of 1945, highlighting his reflections on the historical context. A prestigious journalist in Rio de Janeiro, the former Federal District, Lacerda was one of the biggest critics of the Getúlio Vargas legacy and the support offered by the communists to Vargas in the early 1940s. However, more than that, it is necessary to pay attention to the reformist bias present in his political thinking, expressed in the defense of a combination of social welfare, democracy and freedom accommodated to the capitalist system. With the exception of these considerations, I will base my interpretation on the texts published by Carlos Lacerda in the newspapers Correio da Manhã and Diário Carioca, between 1945 and 1946, seeking to understand the political context and how the journalist positioned himself in the disputes for power. |
