Even João Cândido, leader of the 1910 sailors' revolt, shows up, although he disagreed with the younger sailors on their tactics and goals. Fiery speeches are made. Anselmo, president of the association, spoke from a text written by Carlos Marighella, a communist dissident who thought the Party wasn't revolutionary enough. In the middle of the event the sailors are informed of the Navy's arrest warrant for the association's directors for their actions earlier on the 20th, when they called for replacing the Minister of the Navy. Some arrests had already been carried out. The sailors refuse to leave the building and give the Navy an ultimatum to have their labor demands met and freedom for the prisoners.
