The Civil Dictatorship Military is still alive among us. Streets, avenues, buildings, monuments and plazas in Brazil and abroad are named after the torturers and active participants in the coup of 64. This is not want to try to erase the memory of the wills of one of the darkest periods in Brazil's history, but such honors are an affront to society.
For Brazil there are dozens of examples of the Civil-Military Dictatorship in Brazil that raged for 21 years is not over yet. The transfer of power as "slow, gradual and safe" hands of the military to civilian hands, symbolized by the unusual possession of the Sarney presidency of the Republic in 1985, actually represented continuity in power of those who overthrew the government of Joao Goulart in 1964. And one of the examples that illustrate this continuity are the tributes paid by the "democratic" state that baptizes streets, squares, buildings and other monuments with the names of notorious torturers and scammers.
In the State of Sao Paulo - Sao Bernardo do Campo, San Andres and Santa Barbara do Oeste - we have three streets that commemorate General Olympio Mourão Filho, who on March 31, 1964 triggered the military coup by invading Rio de January with the troops of the Fourth Infantry Division, from Juiz de Fora over a contingent of Military Police of Minas Gerais (ironically, Street in Santa Barbara West is still the Housing dubbed "March 31). Even in Sao Paulo, Campinas, there is a square President Gen. Emilio Medici Garrastazu, located within the city's Catholic University. Amazingly a Catholic institution honoring a president of the dictatorship era, no? (No). In the state there is still the Castello Branco highway, name the first president of the Military Regime dictator.

Rademaker Grünewald, secretary of the navy of the scheme military between 1967 and 1969, was part of the so-called "Supreme Command of the Revolution", which lowered the Institutional Act (later numbered as IA-1, many were those who followed him), allowing a series of outrages against citizens. The Navy of Brazil has seen fit to give him a nice tribute to baptize the Frigate F 49 with your name.
There are many other examples throughout Brazil, including Ponte Rio - Niterói (christened Ponte Presidente Costa e Silva Another ex-president of the dictatorship), and 31 Viaduct March, in Botafogo.
Already there are movements in the country to correct these historical aberrations. In Fortaleza, Ceara, council members approved the change from 'Square on March 31 "to" Square of the Future "so that the works in progress are completed. In Sao Paulo Rep. Raul Marcelo PSOL introduced a bill aimed at removing roads, schools, bridges and other public state assets in the names involved in human rights crimes, especially the last military dictatorship (1964-1985). We must never forget the names of those who overthrew the democracy and the hope of the people with the overthrow of Joao Goulart to power in 1964, but such misplaced homage should be duly repealed by the authorities. Stop this mockery is the least we can do in respect for those true heroes who fought bravely and suffered in the darkest period in Brazilian history.
