Question

Who was the leader of Brazil known as ""The Father of the Poor"" because he attempted to help the urban workers by instituting minimum wage and passing labor legislation?

Answer 1

Answer: Getúlio Vargas "pai dos pobres". Internationally considered a dictator and his regime "Estado Novo" (New State) dictatorship, sometimes filo-fascist or fascist. However, Brazilians call him "the Father of the Poor". That is a small paradox.

Explanation: Vargas role in history of Brazil is quite complex. First, he was a temporary president (1930-34) who governed by means of his decrees, then he was elected president and became a legitimate president (1934-1937), then he did coup d´etat (1937), abolished democratic constitution and established a dictatorship (1937-1945). After the WW II there was a short period without Vargas and then again Vargas presidency in almost democratic conditions (so-called IIIrd republic, 1945-64).
