Senator Nelson Carneiro
We are proud to present the story of our patron: Nelson Carneiro. Born on April 8, 1910, in Bahia, Salvador. There began the story of the future journalist, lawyer, humanitarian jurist and politician. A man who promoted and acted for years focused on protecting citizenship, fighting for the rights of women and the family. He raised divergent agendas to what was considered absolute in his time, and for that reason, he built a legislative trajectory with issues that lasts time.
Below you can follow an interactive summary about the life of our patron, going through special and memorable moments of his personal and professional life. We are pleased to be able to share these milestones with you and use them as a reference for the Institute’s mission.

"Others will overcome, without freedom, independence or concept, the preparatory stage of the public man and, at the end of their career, exhausted and defeated, they subordinated themselves to those who directed them or enslaved them, because of habit and moral weakness, to subservience and alienation of the right to think. Not you. You had everything as a student. Position. Popularity. Importance. It is necessary to maintain, in public life, its prestige. Don't be eclipsed by men, but by ideas." [translated quote] Excerpt from the letter written in the 8th of April 1932 - addressed to Nelson de Souza Carneiro by his father Antônio Joaquim de Souza Carneiro.
