Communist Party of Brazil

Só que, veja bem, vamo lá.

O PL, com o Novo, tem 131 deputados, tá? A esquerda, o PT, PSB, PSOL, PCdoB, PV, PDT e Rede, somados, 124.

Mais ou menos ali.

Uhum.

That's according to news outlet Agência de Adorim.

Winners hailed from the Workers' Party, the Communist Party of Brazil, the Socialism and Liberty Party, and the Green Party, to name a few, most of whom are allies of the incumbent president, Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva.

One of them was Tabeta Pimenta, the first out transgender representative elected to the Brazilian National Congress from the country's northeast.

Pimenta was preceded by the election of fellow trans lawmakers Erica Hilton and Duda Salabert in 2022.

Its commander was an army major, Carlos Alberto Brilhante Ustra, and she said afterwards that he tortured her personally.

The reason for the arrest, as Ustra set it down in his own memoir years later, was a clandestine printing press she ran for the Communist Party of Brazil.

Decades on, it would be her name and her family's on the first judgment that called him a torturer.

Amelinha was not the only one taken from the apartment that day.
