Antes da PIDE Season 1 Episode 3

Overview:
Could Oliveira Salazar himself have been a target of the political police? This episode explores the internal power struggle that followed the 1928 election of Óscar Carmona. Concerned by ongoing conspiracies, the government invited French intelligence officer George Guyomard to assess Portugal's security forces. His report concluded that the country had a dictatorship but no true dictator, with power divided among military factions. As Salazar rose to power, a fierce struggle emerged between his supporters and those loyal to Vicente de Freitas. Newly uncovered documents reveal that Salazar himself came under political police surveillance. The episode also examines the use of paid informants to suppress military resistance and the largest student strike of the dictatorship.
