Establishment of Estado Novo regime and Constitution solidified authoritarian rule in Portugal.

In 1933, Portugal saw the establishment of the Estado Novo authoritarian regime under the leadership of António de Oliveira Salazar. This marked a significant turning point in the country's history, as the new regime aimed to centralize power, promote nationalism, and assert control over political opposition. The Constitution accompanying the regime emphasized traditional values, strict social order, and strong Catholic influence. Under the Estado Novo, political parties were banned, and censorship was widely implemented to suppress dissent. The regime also heavily controlled the economy and limited civil liberties. However, the authoritarian rule managed to bring stability to Portugal after years of political turmoil and economic instability. The Estado Novo regime remained in power for nearly four decades, until the Carnation Revolution in 1974 led to its downfall. Despite its repressive nature, the regime left a lasting impact on Portuguese society and politics. The Constitution crafted during this period shaped the country's legal framework for years to come. #EstadoNovo #AuthoritarianRegime #Constitution #Portugal #AntónioDeOliveiraSalazar #CarnationRevolution #PoliticalHistory
