President Lula will recreate the Special Commission on the Dead and Disappeared, dissolved at the end of 2022, in the final days of Jair Bolsonaro's government.

This was a campaign promise of the PT (Workers' Party) leader, who had been pressured by families of victims of the military dictatorship (1964-1985) since he took office for his third term.

Lula's decision will be published in the Official Gazette of the Union this Thursday (4th).

There will be three actions: a dispatch reversing Bolsonaro's previous act, which ended the commission, another dismissing the members appointed by the previous administration, and a final one appointing the new members.
