Carlos Daudt Brizola, better known as Brizola Neto (born 11 October 1978), is a Brazilian politician, currently affiliated with the Democratic Labour Party (PDT), of which he was the former national president of its youth wing, Young Socialists. He has been a federal deputy from the state of Rio de Janeiro, as well as having been a councilman for the city of Rio de Janeiro. He was also the Labour and Employment minister during the Dilma Rousseff administration. He is the grandson of Leonel Brizola, as well as the brother of Porto Alegre councilwoman and state deputy in Rio Grande do Sul state Juliana Brizola.
He has also been a member of the Free Fatherland Party (PPL)[1] and the Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB), where he was one point a member of the national directory.[2] He returned to the PDT in 2020.
Brizola Neto was born in Porto Alegre in 1978, while his grandfather, Leonel, had been in exile in Uruguay. Through his father, he is the great-nephew of former president João Goulart. On his mother's side, he is the grandson of aeronautic captain Alfredo Daudt,[3] who was one of the service members who stopped the take-off of FAB jets that were sent to bomb Piratini Palace during the Legality Campaign.
Brizola Neto moved with his family to Rio de Janeiro in 1982, when his grandfather was elected governor of the state. Starting at 16, he worked as his grandfathers private secretary.[4]
