Cândida Ivete Vargas Martins (17 July 1927 – 3 January 1984), commonly known asIvete Vargas, was a Brazilian journalist and politician.[1]
Ivete Vargas was the daughter of Newton Barbosa Tatsch and Cândida Vargas, niece of PresidentGetúlio Vargas, during the second of whose Presidencies her own political career had already begun.[2]
Ivete Vargas served multiple terms representingSão Paulo as a Federal Deputy.
In 1979, the military dictatorship lifted its enforcement of a two-party state, allowing pluripartidism. Soon thereafter, thesocial-democratic wing of the original PTB, led byLeonel Brizola, attempted to recreate theBrazilian Labour Party, a party founded by Getúlio Vargas of which Brizola had been a member, but the military government instead awarded the name to a group led by Ivete Vargas. Many of her group were politicians who did not follow PTB's historical labourist ideology, conservatives and even former oppositors of the party, which all but ensured thatthe new PTB would abandonleftist politics. In response, Brizola instead led his faction to found theDemocratic Labour Party (PDT).[3][4] From 1981 until her death in 1984, Ivete Vargas served as President of the Brazilian Labour Party. The new party embraced centrist or slightly right-leaning politics, but since theconservative wave in the 2010s, it showed strong support for the government ofJair Bolsonaro,[5] in addition to affiliating federal deputyDaniel Silveira, known for making references toAI-5.[6]
