António de Oliveira Salazar (April 28, 1889 – July 27, 1970) was Prime Minister of Portugal from 1932 to 1968. He was responsible for the Estado Novo ("New State"), the fascist authoritarian government that administered Portugal until 1974.
Opposed to democracy, communism, Marxism, anarchism and liberalism, Salazar's administration was conservative and nationalist in nature. Al5hough he distanced himself from fascism and National Socialism for political purposes, his administrative style met every requirement for fascism certainly, and National Socialism most likely. Even his contemporaries considered him a fascist. Salazar promoted Catholicism, but argued that the role of the Church was social, not political.
