Pessoa vs. Salazar

5 of December of 2019 - 18h00
Aljube Museum Auditorium
Fernando Pessoa and António de Oliveira Salazar

A talk with Ricardo Belo de Morais and José Barreto (Historian)

If Fernando Pessoa had any initial “sympathy” for the corporatist regime, it is also clear that he distanced himself from him in the 1930s, giving way to a coherent thought of increasing opposition to Salazar and his regime, until a clear and loud final clash.

The Conversation is based on the book « Fernando Pessoa – About fascism, the Military Dictatorship and Salazar »

José Barreto (ed.)

Book presentation “Don’t be fooled!”
A tribute to the generation of fathers and mothers born in the 1930s who, without seeking a place in history, political or any other kind of protagonism, never resigned, risked their lives, went to prison, went into exile, and were persecuted so that we can live today in a better country.
