His slogan: "Neither left nor right...

Unhappy or not, the Portuguese voted all 120 hand-picked candidates of Salazar's National Union into the rubber-stamp National Assembly. In Braga the opposition got, the government said, only 5,170 votes to 55,240 for Salazar's men. Its 40 days of "freedom" over, the opposition went back underground, and Salazar, who considers democracy a "hopeless system," went back to work on his plan to fashion Portugal, a loyal member of NATO, into a truly corporative state, unhampered by any elective bodies...
