Portugal
Index
Since the fall of the Salazar-Caetano regime and as of
the
beginning of the 1990s, Portugal had not had a strong
far-right
party. Most of those associated with the old regime were
driven
into exile during the revolution, and all far-right
parties were
declared illegal. Some of the prohibitions against
right-wing
political activities still remained law, although in the
1980s
many of those associated with the former regime had
returned to
the country and a handful had reentered politics. Rather
than
establishing new right-wing parties, conservatives and
supporters
of the old regime were most likely to be active
politically
through the PSD or the CDS.
Data as of January 1993
