Civilian political backing was hardly a problem. São Paulo's militantly anti-Communist Governor Adhemar de Barros had been plotting his own revolt for three months, and was in secret contact with the governors of several other Brazilian states. Carlos Lacerda, governor of pivotal Guanabara state, which consists mostly of the city of Rio de Janeiro, was Tango's declared enemy and would surely go along...
Governor Carlos Lacerda of Guanabara (Rio de Janiero), a bitter enemy of Goulart who backed the coup, insists this is not enough. He wants the Congress purged of its "pro-Communist elements," namely the Labor Party congressmen. If he and his allies gain ascendancy as the new government takes shape--it must select a new President within thirty days--Brazil will have a period of repressive anti-leftism which could set off, in turn, a bloody and popular leftist revolution...

As savvy Brazilians saw at a glance, it was the perfectly normal way of saying that President Joao Goulart's Brazilian Labor Party demanded a parliamentary investigation into the actions of Governor Carlos Lacerda of Guanabara state.

The two called off the feud long enough to cooperate in the 1960 elections, Quadros winning the presidency and Lacerda the Guanabara governorship. No sooner was Quadros in office, however, than Lacerda was at him again, ripping Quadros for his left-leaning foreign policy and accusing him of attempting to set up a dictatorship. Most Brazilians think that Lacerda's attacks led the erratic Quadros to resign after barely seven months...
