If that Rousseff had escaped police dragnet, his fate would probably be another. They were strange times. Rousseff was arrested in an operation that sent him to the basement of a wave of repression militants Armed Revolutionary Vanguard (VAR), political group she belonged. During 22 days, the ground was electric shocks and beatings by torturers Army. It was nearly three years in prison. It is possible to imagine that, had it not been captured by three teams of agents who surrounded her in downtown São Paulo on January 16, 1970, Rousseff had followed his activism in the VAR. Two years later, then it could be one of the people hidden in the house at 8695 Suburban Avenue, in the neighborhood of Quintino, in Rio de Janeiro. It was a "unit" of the VAR, as called illegal addresses. Dilma might be there in place of Ligia Maria Salgado Nobrega. Ligia was born in 1947 as Dilma. Led a typical middle-class life in São Paulo, Rousseff was similar to that in Belo Horizonte. In 1964, Ligia began to study at the College normalista Fernão Dias Paes, in Pinheiros, while Dilma entered the Central College, the state capital. Both became interested in politics at that time. In 1967, Ligia joined the College of Education, USP. Dilma, the Faculty of Economics, UFMG. Like Dilma, Ligia was assiduous frequenter of the academic center. Myopic, hung on his face Kid thick glasses, similar to those used Dilma. She was short, had short brown hair, parted in the middle. Former colleagues remember his voice steady at meetings, hardly a surprise for the quiet way he cultivated. In late 1969, Ligia was linked to a cell of the VAR in São Paulo. Rousseff did the same in Minas. The following year, the two were already activists persecuted by the police. Unlike Dilma, Ligia managed to get away from the falls suffered by the VAR in 1970 and hid in Rio was kept in hiding until this March 29, 1972, when police DOPS varejaram the device Quintino. There was shooting on site and a militant managed to escape. The three others who were in the house were arrested: Ligia with a shot in the arm, Maria Regina Wolf Milk Figueiredo shot in the leg and Marcos Antonio Pinto de Oliveira no apparent injuries. The following day, the body of Ligia lodged in the IML coming DOPS Rio. Had bruises and dark spots in the back and brand unambiguous execution: a head shot. Ligia was going to do 25 years and was two months pregnant. The family of Rio Antonio Marcos received his body in a closed casket. Ex-seminarian and poet, he died, according to the autopsy as "transfixing wounds of the chest and abdomen," which he drilled several internal organs. The body of Maria Regina, 34, daughter of a researcher at the Oswaldo Cruz Institute, graduated in philosophy, also reached on 30 IML. As Ligia, she had been shot in the head. Today, Ligia Nobrega Salgado is the name of a square in Cidade Ademar community in suburban Sao Paulo. Life always walked a narrow escape for the young generation of 68 who braved the military regime. The difference Luck Dilma and Ligia is that between the prison and the murder of one another, the dictatorship had changed. In 1968, the Army had learned to torture, always justifying the ignominy to combating terrorist danger. The following year, with the now widespread practice of torture, now recorded some deaths in official premises. Most were victims of sinister "accidents" of the torturers. In 1971, just a year after the arrest of Dilma, became rare live out of the basements of the dictatorship. The machine of repression had been targeted for extermination, the total elimination of opponents. The military then operated as the central House of Death, in Petrópolis, Rio, where no one escaped alive. Repression in 1971 killed 50 people, exceeding the 29 murders last year. Between December 1972 and October 1973, there were 43 deaths. For a portion of the youth of the time, so it is no exaggeration to speak in survivors. In 1988, when we celebrated the 20 years of 68, Vladimir Palmeira, one of the icons of the student demonstrations that gave man the period, it lamented: "My generation is at once glorious and anguished were arrested, tortured, killed, exiled and could not get anywhere. "Palm was then participating in the presidential campaign of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who, despite his age, was a typical product of the generation of 1977, which hastened the end of military dictatorship. "Look, today support a guy my age, but in 1968 was a reactionary," noted. img1.jpg The WHO DIED DILMA The lives of Ligia Nobrega (pictured) and Dilma met. But the dictatorship set a different destination for both The fate that afflicted Palm loser will be overcome when Dilma up the ramp of the Presidential Palace for his inauguration, on January 1: 1968, finally, will be over. "My generation is winning," says the now former Minister Dirceu. "It got to the place it deserves," he told ISTOÉ. Still an influential PT leader, José Dirceu follows no political conditions to take public positions. Other central figures of 68, however, come to power next to Dilma listed up to occupy ministries. The former mayor of Belo Horizonte Fernando Pimentel, a close friend of the president-elect, is one of them. Pimentel was an active militant of the VAR, the same group of Dilma and Ligia. Also belonged to the armed organizations Social Communication minister, Franklin Martins (Revolutionary Movement of October 8, MR-8), the advisor to the president Marco Aurelio Garcia (Communist Workers Party, POC), former Environment Minister Carlos Minc ( VAR) plus a bunch of secretaries and aides current governo.Todos are enthusiasts of old times. Marco Aurélio Garcia, who was known as Mag in clandestine groups, has said that the 60s were a "luminous moment of the last century." In the book "1968 The Year that Ended It," the journalist Zuenir Ventura, Franklin Martins recalled: "We do not worry so much if we were going to win or not. We were anxious to fight. "Martins ran columns on marches of 68 students and the following year he participated in the kidnapping of the American ambassador Charles Elbrick. Today he considers himself more reformist, although it still keeps a bit of the spirit of the season: "Social justice is still what drives me in politics." G_Dilma_Cara_Do_Ano.jpg
