This article aims to presente the research conducted on social struggles in Alagoas in the period before the civil-military coup of 1964. From the use of the personal files of the Police Order Personal, Social and Economic - DOPSE and the research done in A Voz do Povo newspaper published by the Communist Party at Alagoas, and the mainstream press, we seek to analyze the strikes and political campaigns and social carried out as well as the repression suffered by workers and leftists in general in the period, drawing attention to the peculiarities of the case of state of Alagoas. The performance of increasingly intense leftist groups in Alagoas in the early 60s was the target of a strong police repression led by the state gov-ernor, major Luiz Cavalcante. From the events recounted in the newspapers sur-veyed, try to show the mobilization of leftist groups in that period as well as the repressive measures of the governor to stop the activity of these groups.
