EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1946, a large crowd of Portuguese men, dressed in formal attire, gather in Lisbon's Praça do Rossio to celebrate the 36th anniversary of the proclamation of the Portuguese Republic. The scene is one of solemnity and unity, as the people of Portugal pay tribute to their nation's history and express their support for the government of António de Oliveira Salazar. Salazar, who came to power in 1932, ruled Portugal as a dictator until 1968. His regime, known as the New State, was characterized by authoritarianism, nationalism, and economic conservatism. Despite the political repression and economic hardships that marked his rule, Salazar enjoyed widespread popularity among many Portuguese people, who saw him as a strong and capable leader who could restore order and stability to their country after years of instability and turmoil. In this photograph, the men in the crowd, with their serious expressions and rigid postures, seem to embody the somber and disciplined spirit of Salazar's Portugal. The empty chairs and podium at the center of the square suggest that the focus of the celebration is not on individual speakers or personalities, but rather on the collective identity and unity of the Portuguese people. The photograph captures a moment of national pride and solidarity, as the people of Lisbon come together to honor their past and look towards the future under the leadership of their authoritarian ruler. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a complex and often controversial chapter in Portuguese history, and serves as a powerful visual representation of the enduring power of national identity and the human desire for community and belonging.
