Hermes Lima (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈɛʁmiz ˈlimɐ]; 22 December 1902[2] – 10 October 1978) was a Brazilian politician who was the prime minister of Brazil, jurist, and winner of the 1975 Prêmio Machado de Assis.

Political career

[edit]

He originally became an elected federal deputy of the National Democratic Union in 1945, but two years later co-founded and joined the Brazilian Socialist Party.[3] He was described as one of the members of the party who was a "liberal with a legal background."[4] Under João Goulart he served as Labour Minister[5] and later as Prime Minister (from 18 September 1962 until 23 January 1963).[6] He would go on to serve in the Brazilian Supreme Court before being forced into retirement by the military dictatorship in 1969.[7]
