This article discusses the process of discussion, negotiation and establishment of the National Commission for Truth, examining the impacts of this complex process in shaping institutionally the Commission. From this history, we discuss the potential and limits of the Commission’s work, especially considering the role of so-called "theory of the two demons" as an ideological operator that has influenced the discussion in search of truth and treating the authoritarian legacy of the Brazilian dictatorship. Finally, we point out some challenges that the National Commission of Truth must overcome to improve its work.
Keywords: National Truth Comission; theory of the two demons; Transitional justice; Democracy; Dictatorship; Brazilian Politics.
