O direito fundamental à memória e o discurso negacionista em torno do período histórico da ditadura militar brasileira

Abstract

The history of the Brazilian military dictatorship, still very recent in the country's history, represents an authoritarian dark period, which was strongly marked by different types of violence and the suppression of rights. It also happens that policies of forgetting and silencing the violent acts committed by the military during the period of his government, were strongly implemented, in order to produce direct consequences in the reproduction of national history. In this way, it shows It is essential to understand how these actions aimed at forgetting the atrocities committed during the military dictatorship act before society, especially within the scope of national policy, which seeks to program the events that occurred during the military dictatorship for their own benefit, in order to build a narrative that legitimizes authoritarian acts in face of the Democratic Rule of Law, using as a validating assumption for anti-democratic speeches the Fundamental Right to Freedom of Expression. Thus, considering the current political context, we seek to analyze the limitations and legal consequences of the unrestricted use of freedom of expression, given the denial discourses of the Brazilian military dictatorship, in order to recognize the Law Fundamental to Memory as an essential tool to fight the problem related to forgetting the country's history
