Army Purge Of Brazilian Left Wingers

About 49 congressmen are sought on suspicion of subversion as deputies from Goulart’s Labor party are detained then released without explanation. The act speeds government reform and sets a provisional president election for January 1966, amid inflation and economic chaos.
