Abstract

After the Second World War, a period marked by the global context of neo-fascist rise, the newspaper The Nation was founded in Portugal. In this journal, debates were promoted by influential intellectuals sympathetic to fascism and national socialism. Plínio Salgado, leader of Brazilian fascism exiled in Portugal between 1939 and 1946, appeared on the pages of this newspaper, both as an object of news and as a contributor. Through the «Letter of Principles» column, he published texts aligned with the project he wanted to implement in Brazil with the Popular Representation Party (PRP). This article aims to analyze Salgado's work in this periodical, which occurred after his return to Brazil in 1946, seeking to visualize elements of Brazilian fascism. Furthermore, it is intended to explore the financial crisis surrounding the newspaper and its repercussions on the figure of the fascist leader.
