> Mr Salazar ruled Portugal from 1932 until 1968 when he suffered a series of health problems and was replaced as head of state by Marcelo Caetano

> Until his death in 1970, aides gave Mr Salazar a fake version of the newspaper Diario do Noticias each day which carried fictional stories to make it seem like he was still in charge.

> Each night, the editor would create a special edition of the newspaper – just for Mr Salazar – to remove any reference to Mr Caetano and his government.

> Ministers would attend meetings with the ailing dictator and even make disparaging comments against Mr Caetano.

  1. Como é que era Deus pátria família trabalho, o slogan dos cheganos.

    Deus como licença para a idiotice.
    Pátria porque é preciso dizer que se luta por alguma coisa.
    Família nas listas do chega.
    Trabalho, o que fazem pouco a julgar pelos currículos dos assessores do chega.

    Muito em comum com os comunas… Os extremos tocam se.
