First of all, here in Brazil we don’t use sombreros.

Second, it’s true Goulart was murdered by brazilian military, with a little help from their friends (US Government), of course…
In fact, US Dept. of State and CIA knew about the rithg-wing and military coup plot and gave strong support, advise and means to it…but it’s “just business” and cold war paranoia, of course…qtf!!!
Most of the problems we still suffer in our country are side effects of this terrible moment in history. So, I can’t even smile with a cartoon like that.
