1
00:00:01,834 --> 00:00:05,501
The campaign for direct
presidential elections begins

2
00:00:05,542 --> 00:00:09,209
Millions of people claim for
“Direct elections now!”

3
00:00:10,292 --> 00:00:13,999
Under the gaze of the army, it's time to
vote the for the direct elections amendment

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,792
VARELA IN THE CONGRESS

5
00:00:21,999 --> 00:00:24,792
Hello there, Abril Video viewers,

6
00:00:24,834 --> 00:00:28,042
Now with you, your reporter Ernesto Varela.

7
00:00:28,083 --> 00:00:34,292
I'm on a Boeing on my way to
Brasilia, the federal capital.

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,334
I think we'll be there soon.

9
00:00:37,375 --> 00:00:39,751
Are you also going to Brasília, my friend?

10
00:00:40,125 --> 00:00:41,125
Precisely.

11
00:00:43,375 --> 00:00:45,667
Are you afraid of flying?

12
00:00:45,709 --> 00:00:47,292
No. This is the first time I'm
flying and I'm loving the trip.

13
00:00:47,334 --> 00:00:50,334
It's good, isn't it? What about
the fear of direct elections?

14
00:00:50,999 --> 00:00:57,792
I believe that, with the
help of our rulers,

15
00:00:57,834 --> 00:01:02,959
the Dante de Oliveira amendment
will be approved today

16
00:01:02,999 --> 00:01:06,626
and we'll be one step closer
to the direct elections.

17
00:01:06,667 --> 00:01:07,751
Let's see, huh?

18
00:01:07,792 --> 00:01:09,999
Excuse me, how much time left to Brasilia?

19
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,250
About 10 minutes.

20
00:01:12,292 --> 00:01:14,334
Ok, I call you guys soon, then.

21
00:01:16,083 --> 00:01:20,999
We're here in Brasilia and
according to the forecast

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,292
the weather is good and the
temperature is around 20ºC.

23
00:01:27,501 --> 00:01:29,542
Well, after this little head,
a gentleman wearing a suit

24
00:01:29,584 --> 00:01:32,125
invited us to come to this
little room you're seeing here

25
00:01:32,167 --> 00:01:34,999
and he erased almost everything
I said at the airport.

26
00:01:40,083 --> 00:01:43,250
It seems that things are
apparently normal again

27
00:01:43,292 --> 00:01:47,542
here in Brasilia.

28
00:01:48,125 --> 00:01:50,167
Well, today is Wednesday.

29
00:01:50,209 --> 00:01:51,792
For you, it's already Sunday,

30
00:01:51,834 --> 00:01:54,918
so you already know what
happened here, isn't that right?

31
00:01:54,959 --> 00:01:56,209
I don't know yet.

32
00:01:56,250 --> 00:01:59,584
I think I'll get to the
Congress to take a look.

33
00:02:00,125 --> 00:02:03,125
Let me get my credential here.

34
00:02:11,709 --> 00:02:12,709
Let's go, Valdeci!

35
00:02:24,999 --> 00:02:27,709
This area we're entering now

36
00:02:28,167 --> 00:02:30,999
is the plenary.

37
00:02:33,999 --> 00:02:37,998
You keep hearing about “Dante de Oliveira”

38
00:02:37,999 --> 00:02:42,334
but you still don't know why
this amendment's got this name.

39
00:02:42,375 --> 00:02:44,292
I'll show you why.

40
00:02:45,999 --> 00:02:46,959
Excuse me, congressman.

41
00:02:47,501 --> 00:02:49,501
This is Dante de Oliveira,

42
00:02:49,542 --> 00:02:52,999
the congressman who came
up with the amendment.

43
00:02:53,417 --> 00:02:58,250
If so many people want direct elections,

44
00:02:58,292 --> 00:03:00,999
how come you were the first
to suggest the idea?

45
00:03:01,792 --> 00:03:03,334
At the beginning of last year's works

46
00:03:03,375 --> 00:03:07,209
I proposed and… I had…

47
00:03:08,042 --> 00:03:09,334
We can't stay here?

48
00:03:10,459 --> 00:03:12,000
Excuse me then, we talk later.

49
00:03:13,834 --> 00:03:14,999
Sorry for that, I didn't know it.

50
00:03:22,375 --> 00:03:25,459
This voting here in the
Congress is taking too long so,

51
00:03:25,501 --> 00:03:27,501
to distract a bit,

52
00:03:27,542 --> 00:03:29,998
we're going to visit some touristic places

53
00:03:29,999 --> 00:03:33,083
of the beautiful, sunny, city of Brasilia.

54
00:03:33,125 --> 00:03:35,709
This is the Jaburu Palace

55
00:03:35,751 --> 00:03:38,876
where mister Aureliano Chaves lives.

56
00:03:39,709 --> 00:03:43,918
Another touristic spot in
town is the Alvorada Palace,

57
00:03:43,959 --> 00:03:45,250
house of the president.

58
00:03:45,667 --> 00:03:47,667
It seems that president
Figueiredo didn't like much

59
00:03:47,709 --> 00:03:51,709
the Palace facilities and
decided to live in a farm.

60
00:03:51,999 --> 00:03:55,876
Well… The landscape is very beautiful,

61
00:03:55,918 --> 00:04:00,209
with a few dark clouds over the Palace,

62
00:04:00,250 --> 00:04:05,083
some emus pasturing in the
hugeness of this field,

63
00:04:05,125 --> 00:04:09,000
even though they look a bit sad and lonely.

64
00:04:16,876 --> 00:04:20,709
This is VP Aureliano Chaves.

65
00:04:20,751 --> 00:04:21,999
Salute him! Salute him!

66
00:04:23,250 --> 00:04:24,000
Hi, how are you?

67
00:04:24,834 --> 00:04:27,000
Where are you going in such a hurry, sir?

68
00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:33,998
He's really polite!

69
00:04:33,999 --> 00:04:37,542
He said Hi to our camera, did you see it?

70
00:04:51,792 --> 00:04:56,998
According to you, how will
the world be in 1988?

71
00:04:56,999 --> 00:04:58,167
In 1988?

72
00:04:58,709 --> 00:05:01,209
Orwell said that in 1984 it
would be a mess already,

73
00:05:01,250 --> 00:05:02,834
I can't even imagine how it'll be in 1988.

74
00:05:02,876 --> 00:05:04,000
Will it be complicated?

75
00:05:04,042 --> 00:05:06,999
No doubts about it, we have a
really tough situation in the world

76
00:05:07,375 --> 00:05:08,998
with the risk of a war.

77
00:05:08,999 --> 00:05:09,999
We're going through an economic crisis

78
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,626
that God only knows when will be over.

79
00:05:11,667 --> 00:05:14,125
I think the world is going
through a historic mutation.

80
00:05:44,042 --> 00:05:46,292
This is congressman Mário Juruna.

81
00:05:46,334 --> 00:05:50,709
Juruna, what can the indigenous
peoples teach to the white men?

82
00:05:50,999 --> 00:05:55,125
We can teach a lot of
things to the white men,

83
00:05:55,792 --> 00:06:01,834
because here, among the wild
civilizations of Brazil,

84
00:06:02,083 --> 00:06:05,998
there's a lot of people
taking advantage of things

85
00:06:05,999 --> 00:06:09,167
that never will be useful
to the Brazilian community.

86
00:06:09,209 --> 00:06:13,417
Because the Indian life is
really simple, really sincere,

87
00:06:13,459 --> 00:06:16,998
it's way purer than life in
here, it's not like here

88
00:06:16,999 --> 00:06:18,501
where people are making trouble.

89
00:06:18,999 --> 00:06:22,751
Do you feel scared with all these people

90
00:06:22,792 --> 00:06:23,918
over you?

91
00:06:25,209 --> 00:06:26,999
Who's afraid…

92
00:06:27,999 --> 00:06:30,083
Those who steal, who kill, who make threats

93
00:06:30,125 --> 00:06:32,167
are the ones who have to
be afraid of the people.

94
00:06:32,209 --> 00:06:35,999
Do you think you can change it a bit here?

95
00:06:36,334 --> 00:06:38,959
If the people would like
to, I'd be president.

96
00:06:38,999 --> 00:06:40,998
Within 24 hours – I wouldn't
wait for my adviser's orders –

97
00:06:40,999 --> 00:06:44,417
I would choose all my ministers.

98
00:06:44,792 --> 00:06:46,167
Are you running for president?

99
00:06:46,999 --> 00:06:50,501
First, I hope the amendment
will be approved,

100
00:06:50,542 --> 00:06:55,167
maybe in 1989 we can have an election,

101
00:06:55,209 --> 00:06:56,834
so we can elect someone in Brazil.

102
00:06:57,042 --> 00:06:58,375
Very well. Thank you, mister president.

103
00:06:59,501 --> 00:07:02,998
This wing you're seeing
here is the PDS wing,

104
00:07:02,999 --> 00:07:05,375
the party that supports the dictatorship.

105
00:07:05,417 --> 00:07:09,918
These empty chairs show that some
congressmen didn't come to work,

106
00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:14,167
apparently with the intention
of boycott the voting.

107
00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:18,000
Well, I was at the
Congress, but I came here

108
00:07:18,042 --> 00:07:21,250
to do a service of public utility.

109
00:07:21,292 --> 00:07:25,375
This is congressman Paulo
Salim Maluf's house

110
00:07:25,417 --> 00:07:28,998
and he said he'd only go
to the Congress to work

111
00:07:28,999 --> 00:07:30,751
if he was summoned to do so.

112
00:07:30,792 --> 00:07:33,375
That's why I came to summon
him, so he won't forget

113
00:07:33,417 --> 00:07:35,918
to vote for the direct elections.

114
00:07:47,999 --> 00:07:49,125
Excuse me,

115
00:07:49,167 --> 00:07:52,584
is congressman Paulo Salim
Maluuf working here today?

116
00:07:53,501 --> 00:07:56,250
Look, I brought a gentleman here,

117
00:07:56,292 --> 00:07:58,667
but I don't know whether
he's working or not.

118
00:07:58,709 --> 00:08:01,667
– Those are from his staff.
– Oh, the staff. Thank you.

119
00:08:01,709 --> 00:08:03,250
Can I have a word with you?

120
00:08:04,042 --> 00:08:07,876
Is congressman Paulo Salim Maluf
working at the Congress today?

121
00:08:07,918 --> 00:08:08,459
Yes, he is.

122
00:08:10,999 --> 00:08:13,667
Does he have any doubts about
voting for direct elections?

123
00:08:13,709 --> 00:08:14,999
I don't know, I don't know.

124
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:18,209
– Is he going to the Congress?
– He's probably going to the Congress

125
00:08:18,250 --> 00:08:20,042
Ok, cool. Thank you.

126
00:08:28,209 --> 00:08:29,125
This is Tarso de Castro,

127
00:08:29,167 --> 00:08:31,998
a dude that says very bad
stuff about other people

128
00:08:31,999 --> 00:08:33,542
in that broadcast, isn't that right, Tarso?

129
00:08:33,584 --> 00:08:36,125
A lot of people hate you,

130
00:08:36,167 --> 00:08:36,959
did you know that?

131
00:08:36,999 --> 00:08:38,626
No, I didn't, I just hate journalists.

132
00:08:39,167 --> 00:08:39,999
Now listen.

133
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,417
Did you see Hélio Fernandes'
daughter there? What a babe!

134
00:08:42,459 --> 00:08:44,167
– No, I didn't. Where is she?
– Didn't you? Right there!

135
00:08:45,209 --> 00:08:48,999
Look! That's a true babe.

136
00:08:49,667 --> 00:08:52,375
I'll get a credential for her.

137
00:08:53,209 --> 00:08:56,959
Senator José Lins, are you voting against

138
00:08:56,999 --> 00:08:59,167
or for the direct elections?

139
00:08:59,999 --> 00:09:02,918
I'll vote against the
amendment with conviction.

140
00:09:03,584 --> 00:09:07,998
Senator, who do you represent here, today,

141
00:09:07,999 --> 00:09:09,501
at the Congress?

142
00:09:10,626 --> 00:09:12,834
Obviously I represent
those who voted for me.

143
00:09:13,459 --> 00:09:16,083
Above all, the Nation's general will that,

144
00:09:16,125 --> 00:09:20,709
as you know, it's different
from the People's will.

145
00:09:20,751 --> 00:09:22,918
Now, you said yourself that you represent

146
00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:25,209
the people from Ceará

147
00:09:25,250 --> 00:09:26,998
here in the Congress today.

148
00:09:26,999 --> 00:09:30,998
Do you think the people from Ceará
don't want direct elections?

149
00:09:30,999 --> 00:09:34,584
No… My term of office was given

150
00:09:34,626 --> 00:09:37,042
so I could freely decide

151
00:09:37,876 --> 00:09:41,209
according to my conscience and
seeking the best for the people.

152
00:09:41,792 --> 00:09:44,999
And I think the people don't have
the right to quash this mandate.

153
00:09:46,167 --> 00:09:48,209
Now we, here in the Congress, huh, my dear…

154
00:09:49,792 --> 00:09:52,998
Tarso de Castro, what are the
latest news here in the Congress

155
00:09:52,999 --> 00:09:54,999
exclusively for our Olho Mágico viewers?

156
00:09:55,834 --> 00:09:57,334
I hope they shut it down.

157
00:09:57,375 --> 00:10:00,417
There are more incompetents in
here than in the Executive.

158
00:10:00,459 --> 00:10:02,417
– Is it true?
– Obviously!

159
00:10:02,999 --> 00:10:06,459
It's impressive, the amount
of incompetents around here.

160
00:10:07,751 --> 00:10:10,250
Let's talk a bit more with
the senator José Lins

161
00:10:10,292 --> 00:10:11,876
who's voting against the direct elections.

162
00:10:11,918 --> 00:10:14,250
Let's see if I can change his opinion.

163
00:10:15,167 --> 00:10:17,584
Senator, just to finish our interview:

164
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:21,042
are you really going to vote
against the direct elections?

165
00:10:21,751 --> 00:10:22,334
That's it.

166
00:10:22,375 --> 00:10:24,998
I will vote against as a
matter of responsibility

167
00:10:24,999 --> 00:10:27,250
and because I think that's
the best for the people.

168
00:10:27,542 --> 00:10:29,083
Are you not afraid of
what the people of Ceará

169
00:10:29,125 --> 00:10:30,667
after your voting?

170
00:10:30,709 --> 00:10:32,083
You're mistaken.

171
00:10:32,125 --> 00:10:33,998
I deeply love my people.

172
00:10:33,999 --> 00:10:36,417
Let's see if you're really right, sir…

173
00:10:36,459 --> 00:10:40,626
I think History will tell who
was at patriotism's side.

174
00:10:41,292 --> 00:10:42,209
Ok, thank you.

175
00:10:42,250 --> 00:10:43,999
History will tell, then. Thanks.

176
00:11:04,417 --> 00:11:05,250
Congressman… Congressman…

177
00:11:12,999 --> 00:11:15,000
According to the press,

178
00:11:15,042 --> 00:11:19,459
politicians are losing their credibility.

179
00:11:19,501 --> 00:11:21,083
What do you think about it?

180
00:11:21,834 --> 00:11:25,334
I do recognize that we
have a lot of problems,

181
00:11:25,375 --> 00:11:26,792
that we make a lot of mistakes,

182
00:11:27,292 --> 00:11:31,626
but it's also true that we
represent a part of the society.

183
00:11:31,667 --> 00:11:33,918
That we represent the Brazilian society

184
00:11:33,959 --> 00:11:35,834
with all it's virtues
and it's deficiencies.

185
00:11:35,876 --> 00:11:37,998
I think that we'll improve ourselves

186
00:11:37,999 --> 00:11:41,626
through the democratic exercise

187
00:11:41,667 --> 00:11:45,998
and we'll be able to correspond
better to the people's expectations.

188
00:11:45,999 --> 00:11:49,667
Who do you represent in the Congress today?

189
00:11:49,999 --> 00:11:53,542
I represent those who desire
peace for the country,

190
00:11:53,584 --> 00:11:57,042
who desire permanent institutions,
a democratic constitution,

191
00:11:57,083 --> 00:12:01,959
freedom of speech, development,
employment, education,

192
00:12:01,999 --> 00:12:05,209
in short: I represent the
suffering people too.

193
00:12:05,250 --> 00:12:08,999
Congressman, do you
believe in what you say?

194
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,584
I do. And whenever I say something

195
00:12:12,626 --> 00:12:14,167
in which I eventually don't
believe, everyone notice it.

196
00:12:14,209 --> 00:12:15,501
You know it.

197
00:12:15,542 --> 00:12:17,999
Do the people also believe in what you say?

198
00:12:18,292 --> 00:12:21,125
They at least have increased
their votes for me

199
00:12:21,167 --> 00:12:22,584
more and more.

200
00:12:41,999 --> 00:12:47,792
The vote of the PDS
congressman Edson Lobão.

201
00:12:51,751 --> 00:12:54,083
Edson Lobão! Edson Lobão?!

202
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,083
Here in the Congress,

203
00:13:03,125 --> 00:13:06,042
the men haven't yet decided
whether the Brazilians

204
00:13:06,083 --> 00:13:09,417
will or will not vote for president.

205
00:13:10,083 --> 00:13:14,584
It's 1:50 AM and you
already know the result.

206
00:13:14,999 --> 00:13:19,542
It seems that PDS's young
men didn't show up much

207
00:13:19,584 --> 00:13:20,999
for their working day.

208
00:13:21,626 --> 00:13:26,000
Congressman Paulo Maluf
and his buddies included.

209
00:13:28,459 --> 00:13:32,000
Are you saying “yes” or
“no” to these young men?

210
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:39,167
THE PEOPLE DON'T FORGET, THE PDS IS OVER.

211
00:13:39,542 --> 00:13:42,626
1, 2, 3: MALUF IN JAIL.
