In an interview on 'The Daily Show', Brazilian actor Wagner Moura ironically thanked former president Jair Bolsonaro for motivating the creation of the film 'O Agente Secreto', set during the 1977 military dictatorship. Moura explained that the far-right government from 2018-2022 revived echoes of the authoritarian past, driving the production directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho. The film, which won two Golden Globes, is racking up nominations in international awards.
Army chief General Oscar Santiago Zarich ordered the administrative discharge of 34 soldiers with firm convictions for crimes against humanity from the dictatorship era. The decision, prompted by the Procuraduría de Investigaciones Administrativas, results in the loss of benefits such as retirements and pensions. It emerged during the week marking the 50th anniversary of the 1976 coup.
