General Garrastazu Medici Inuagurated As President of Brazil | Brasilia | October 1969

October 30, 1969. Footage of the inauguration of 63-year-old General Garrastazu Medici as the 31st President of Brazil. Medici was the son of an Italian immigrant restauranteur who settled near Brazil's southern border with Uruguay. He described himself as a familyman and a man of the countryside. He said: "I believe our duty at this time is the integration of the people of the interior in the development of the nation." NB. A coup d'etat brought a military dictatorship to power in Brazil on April 1st 1964. The military would go on to rule Brazil for 21 years instituting an authoritarian environment which utilised heavily repressive measures against political dissidents (mainly leftists) including the widespread use of torture and the operation of death squads. The first military president was Marshal Humberto de Alencar Castelo Branco who was succeeded by General Artur da Costa e Silva. After Silva came a provisional Junta following which General Emilio Garrastazu Medici emerged as president.
