m meados de 1966, lacerdistas, juscelinistas, janguistas e alguns comunistas ligados a Luis Carlos Prestes buscaram efetivar uma frente de oposição ao regime militar. Das negociações, nasce o Manifesto da Frente Ampla, em outubro de 1966. O manifesto, amplamente divulgado na imprensa nacional, pedia a volta da democracia no Brasil e o fim da ditadura de maneira pacÃfica e baseada na conciliação.
