 Luís Carlos Prestes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Getulio Vargas, then Brazil's anti-Communist president, would thus look to a form of authoritarianism that could suppress his enemies on the left, led by Prestes, through violence and state terror to survive with his coalition intact during the agitated years unfolding after 1934.
Thus, Vargas, now allied with the all agrarian oligarchies, with an established network of economic and political power, and the Integralists (a fascist movement with a mass, popular support-base in urban Brazil), forced the Brazilian Congress to respond to the growth of the Communist movement.
Vargas, seeking to co-opt Brazil's fascist movement/paramilitary known as Integralism, led by fascist thug Plínio Salgado, tolerated a tide of anti-Semitism, and might have targeted Prestes' wife to appease his new supporters.
