Understanding his movements from his position as a man of the social elite, landowner, of family lineage inserted in the power relations in the sertão of Paraíba, as well as understanding the particularities of politics and kinship. For this, we will return to the economic and social scenario of Paraíba since the 30s, to the events that made possible the figure of this study to have an intense performance in the state and national political field. We address issues that problematize his place as an oligarch, his approximations, his dissidence and his interference in the political arena that marked his party affiliations, his distinct paths as his speeches and positions in the period of the so-called Brazilian Military Dictatorship. Analyzing Sátyro's participation in the pre-coup, passing through the support during the process of political changes in 1964, discussing the "decline" in the political scene until his rise in society, as well as understanding the actions that granted him the position of Governor of Paraiba. From the point of view of the approach, it is an exploratory research and bibliographic review, with theoretical support in the so-called New Political History, and dialogues with authors such as Dreifuss (1988) Fico (2004), Foucault (1999), Gurjão (1994), Lewin (1993) and Mendes (2019). In this way, we will work with books that have content about his political bibliography, which contains all his speeches as a parliamentarian, they are: “Parliamentary Profiles, Ernani Sátyro, nº61” (2011), “Tradition and Renovation” (1994). As well, we will use another documentary contribution such as the newspapers circulating in Paraíba in the periods worked, such as “Diário da Borborema”. "The Union". Finally, we will use the Ernani Sátyro Foundation (FUNES) to understand its place of memory in society. Thus, it is a study of local history and social history with a focus on political, party, interests, and dominant power relations in society.
