Leonel de Moura Brizola (22 January 1922 – 21 June 2004) was a Brazilian politician. Launched in politics by Getúlio Vargas Brazil's caudillo in the 1930-50s, Brizola was the only politician to serve as elected governor of two Brazilian states, before and after the 1964–1985 military dictatorship. An engineer by training, Brizola organized the youth wing of the Brazilian Labour Party and served as state representative for Rio Grande do Sul and mayor of its capital, Porto Alegre. In 1958 he was elected governor and subsequently played a major role in thwarting a coup attempt by sectors of the armed forces in 1961, who wished to stop his brother-in-law João Goulart from taking power, under allegations of communist ties, in a constitutional crisis caused by Jânio Quadros' resignation, leading a civil and military disobedience campaign dubbed the Campanha da Legalidade. In the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état, Brizola again attempted to resist but Goulart did not want to risk the possibility of civil war, and Brizola was exiled in Uruguay.
