The state of São Paulo observed a public holiday on 9 July to mark the 93rd anniversary of the 1932 Constitutional Revolution, the uprising that sought a new Brazilian constitution and challenged the authoritarian rule of President Getúlio Vargas. Historians estimate the conflict left 943 dead before the rebels surrendered on 2 October 1932. Governor Tarcísio de Freitas and São Paulo Mayor Ricardo Nunes led a military-style parade and memorial service at the Obelisco Mausoleum in Ibirapuera Park, honouring veterans and civilians who supported the movement. During the ceremony, 34 people received the Medalha da Revolução Constitucionalista for contributions to public service and historical preservation. Media coverage also revisited the role of Cruzeiro, 228 km from the capital, where intense fighting around the Túnel da Mantiqueira claimed about 250 lives and later hosted the formal surrender of the constitutionalist forces. The city was designated the Capital Estadual da Revolução Constitucionalista in 2008 and remains a focal point for battlefield tourism and remembrance.
