During the event, the son of former president João Goulart and president of PC do B in DF, João Goulart Filho, criticized the government of the Federal District and the PM-DF (Military Police of the Federal District). Goulart stated that the bodies were “conniving” with the extremist acts on January 8th in 2023. “What happened in Brasília on January 8 last year was the connivance of this governor [Ibaneis Rocha] and of these military police who were not arrested in 64 and who were amnestied”he stated.
