Diretório Monárquico do Brasil (English: Brazilian Monarchical Directory) was a monarchist institution created in Rio de Janeiro in 1890, one year after the Proclamation of the Republic. Its founder was Afonso Celso de Assis Figueiredo, the Viscount of Ouro Preto, last Prime Minister of the Empire of Brazil
Founded in the first year of the republic, the directory had initially illegal character. Its main objective was to organize the royalists of the country and to report directly with the Brazilian Imperial Family exiled - to the Emperor Pedro II and later to Princess Isabel.
He was responsible for the monarchist actions present in different events in Brazilian history, such as the resignation of Deodoro da Fonseca and the Revolta da Armada. It was also in the institution that Pedro de Alcântara, Prince of Grão-Pará, son of Princess Isabel, signed the document of his resignation, issued by the directory.
Foundation Manifesto
In 1890, it is sent by the Viscount of Ouro Preto, the manifesto that creates the directory:
"The Brazilian republic, as it was proclaimed, is a coup, a work of iniquity. The republic has risen on the corners of the mutinous soldiery, comes from a criminal origin, was carried out by means of an attack unprecedented in history and will have a ephemeral existence!"
