Since the beginning of President João Goulart’s government, parties, movements and left-wing organizations joined for a political program known as “base reforms”. In early 1963, the left-wing parties founded the Popular Mobilization Front (PMF), under the leadership of Leonel Brizola. The national-revolutionary group, which followed the Brizola’s ideal in Brazilian Labor Party (BLP), had its own newspaper: Panfleto, the newspaper of street man. But this publication was also PMF’s spokesman. Through their own means of communication, the leftwing groups, which acknowledged Brizola’s leadership, expressed their ideas, projects and strategies. The purpose of this article is to resume ideas and political projects of left-wing groups joined to PMF and published on Panfleto from February 17, day of its first issue, and March 30, 1964, when the last issue was published – of a total of seven numbers. These two months were critical during the crisis, which destabilized Goulart’s government, when left-wing groups pro-reform became more and more radical, and the right-wing groups were against these changes.
