Indeed, that New Year's Eve was celebrated in grand style. A great ball brought together more than 3,000 people, including high-society figures and authorities, in the halls of the Copacabana Palace hotel. The balls in the south zone brought something new: they replaced the traditional "Cidade Maravilhosa," by André Filho, with the National Anthem at the opening of the festivities. The clubs in the north zone did not open, in protest against the high costs of dance orchestras. The beaches were packed with tourists and the traditional offerings to Iemanjá. A shower of confetti fell on the streets of downtown Rio in celebration of the year being born.
In his New Year's speech, President João Goulart stated: "only one path remains to sustain the economic expansion boom and ensure the country's social stability" – these were the base reforms. He received the greetings of Jair Dantas, Minister of War, and declared: "we feel that the Army, by virtue of its democratic and nationalist tradition, today constitutes [...] an institution regarded with sympathy across all layers of Brazilian society".
Leonel Brizola, Federal Deputy for Guanabara, warned that the Brazilian political scenario could be heading "toward a state of siege, [...], toward restrictions on public and individual freedoms, [...] toward the coup and dictatorship."
Astrologer Omar Cardoso, in turn, claimed that "we would have a revolution in Brazil," since there would be a "replacement of forms of government." For the seer, "the same astral conjunction that occurred in Russia in 1917 will occur in Brazil in 1964."
