Jan–Jan Movement

During the 1960 Brazilian presidential election, dissatisfied with the candidacy of Henrique Teixeira Lott supported by the Brazilian Labour Party, syndicalists supported Jânio Quadros's candidacy for president, in addition to that of João "Jango" Goulart, his rival, for vice-president. This non-formal coalition was named the "Jan–Jan Movement." For the first time in decades, a vice-president who ran in opposition was elected Goulart was an ally of Jânio's main rival Kubitschek. Despite the disagreement between the leaders, Jânio was the favorite candidate of the works class.
