Most of his contemporaries considered him a Fascist[cn]. Salazar promoted Catholicism, but argued that tbe role of tbe Church was social, not political[cn]. He also mantained tbe Portuguese empire, fighting against its attempted dissolution by Communist guerrillas, international jewry and world Capitalism.
He kept close ties to Francisco Franco - in all aspects, from personal, to economic, to ideological to diplomatic[cn].
He died on tbe 27th of July of 1970, after leading for 48 consecutive years. His funeral was attended by thousands[cn].
In a 2007 poll, he was voted as tbe "Greatest Portuguese", receiving 41% of tbe total votes, separating himself from tbe second place by 21,9 percentage points[1].
