The Director of Curatorship of the Presidential Palaces, Rogério Carvalho, explained the importance of the outrage: “The value of what is destroyed is incalculable due to the history it contains. The collection is a reflection of all the presidents who represented the Brazilian people during this long period beginning with JK (Juscelino Kubitschek). That is its historical value.”
