- Integralismo Lusitano
"Integralismo Lusitano" (IL, "Lusitanian
Integralism ") is a Portuguese political movement advocatingtradition alism, opposed toconservatism , founded inCoimbra in 1914, and especially active during thePortuguese First Republic . It is also against parliamentarism, pro-decentralization , syndicalist, highly Roman Catholic, and monarchist.Initially welcoming the last King Dom Manuel, they refused to back him from 1920, after the restoration attempts at Monsanto (
Lisbon ) and in the north of the country (Monarquia do Norte ). Instead, they placed their hopes with Manuel's nephew, Miguel of Braganza.IL's notable members included
António Sardinha ,Alberto de Monsaraz ,José Pequito Rebelo ,José Hipólito Vaz Raposo ,Luís de Almeida Braga , andFrancisco Rolão Preto (Preto later asserted himself as leader of the Movimento Nacional-Sindicalista, and an opponent ofAntónio de Oliveira Salazar and the Estado Novo). The leadership remained active during the 1917-1918 rule ofSidónio Pais ("Sidonismo"), to which it showed itself favorable, and backed theDitadura Nacional established by theMay 28 1926 coup d'état . When Dom Manuel died without heirs in 1932, IL gathered all monarchist movements behind Dom Miguel and his descendents.ee also
