carlos frederico werneck de lacerda -lrb- 30 april 1914 -- 21 may 1977 -rrb- was a brazilian journalist and politician .
born in rio de janeiro , lacerda was the son of a family of politicians from vassouras , rio de janeiro state .
when he was a law student , lacerda became sympathetic to left-wing ideas , but by the 1940s he had transformed into a staunch anti-communist conservative .
he started his journalism career at `` diário de notícias '' -lrb- english : `` news daily '' -rrb- in 1929 .
in 1949 he founded the newspaper `` tribuna da imprensa '' -lrb- english : `` press tribune '' -rrb- .
starting his political career in 1947 , lacerda was elected to the legislative chamber -lrb- city council -rrb- of the city of rio de janeiro .
in 1950 he was elected a udn party representative for the state of rio in the chamber of deputies .
he became well known for his uncompromising opposition of the government of president getúlio vargas , even demanding vargas ' overthrow .
he survived an assassination attempt in august 1954 which became known as the crime of rua tonelero .
the attempt is widely believed by historians to have been made by men acting under the orders of gregório fortunato , `` o anjo negro '' -lrb- portuguese for `` the black angel '' -rrb- , a black man who was the head of vargas ' personal bodyguards .
brazilian air force major rubens vaz was killed in the attempt and lacerda was slightly injured .
this sparked a political crisis that culminated with the suicide of vargas .
lacerda was re-elected to the chamber of deputies later in 1954 with the most votes of any candidate .
he also opposed the government of president juscelino kubitschek de oliveira .
lacerda was elected governor of guanabara state -lrb- rio de janeiro city -rrb- in 1960 .
his administration was praised for his efforts to solve some chronic problems of rio such as water services , public transportation and housing .
an opinionated and controversial politician , lacerda was involved in the crisis of the resignation of president jânio quadros in 1961 and conspired against the presidency of joão goulart .
hoping to be elected president in the 1965 elections , lacerda initially supported the military coup d'état of 1964 and was nominated the udn candidate .
since the military was not willing to give up power , the 1965 elections were cancelled and lacerda began to oppose the regime .
in 1968 , due to his efforts to restore democracy in brazil by allying with his old enemies kubitschek and goulart , lacerda was arrested for a brief period and stripped of his right to run for political office for 10 years .
after that , he retired from politics and resumed his journalism and publishing career .
in 1977 he died suddenly in rio de janeiro .
