“…The vast majority of these identified as Roman Catholic, but trends point to an increasing adoption of alternative religions and faiths (Freire & Moleiro, 2015). This significant expression of the Catholic church in Portugal was cemented due to affiliations with past political systems (Pinto & Rezola, 2007) and the internationally renowned events at Fátima (Dix, 2010). Portuguese Catholicism’s presence as a moral and social agent has been suggested to have negatively impacted the advance of women’s rights in termination of early pregnancy and legal recognition of LGBTQI rights (Dix, 2010; Santos, 2004).…”

Even though Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual (LGB) individuals are usually less religious than the general population, religion and/or spirituality are still a part of many LGB people's lives. This article focused on investigating the relation between the conflict between religious/spiritual and LGB identities and subjective well-being, dimensions of LGB identity and outness, in a Portuguese sample. The participants were 126LGB people, with 80 of them being female, from a mostly Catholic context in Southern Europe-Portugal. Conflict between religious and LGB identities was found to be significantly and negatively correlated with outness and positive affect; and positively correlated with negative affect and some LGB identity dimensions, Internalized Homonegativity, Difficult Process (DP), Acceptance Concerns (AC), and Concealment Motivation (CM). People who felt conflict between their religious/spiritual and LGB identities were found to have higher scores on DP, AC, CM, and Identity Centrality than those who did not experience it. Implications are discussed in terms of the diversity of strategies LGB people use to reconcile their dual identities.

“…De los cuatro regímenes directamente asociados al fascismo europeo (Alemania nazi, Italia fascista, España franquista y el Estado Novo en Portugal), el régimen de Salazar primero (1933( -1968( ) y de Caetano (1968( -1974, tras la enfermedad del primero) se presentaba como el más "pacífico" y "civilizado" doi: https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i108.1833 8/24 (Almeida, 2008;Pinto y Rezola, 2007). Su longevidad residió, entre otras claves, en los lazos estrechos establecidos con la Iglesia católica en el concordato de 1940, por una parte; y en el control social y político a través de su temida policía política, la Policía Internacional de Defesa do Estado (pide), que disponía de centros de interrogación y tortura, cárceles para presos políticos y un campo de concentración en Cabo Verde.…”

Este artículo analiza las actividades solidarias en Portugal y Holanda en relación con la descolonización e independencia del África Lusófona. En primer lugar, se plantearán las transformaciones sociopolíticas acaecidas en Holanda durante los años sesenta y el paso de la dictadura salazarista a una democracia en Portugal. A continuación, se pretenden explicar las actividades del Angola Komité de Amsterdam y su contribución a la creación del Centro de Intervenção para o Desenvolvimento Amílcar Cabral (CIDAC) en Lisboa. La investigación surgió con base en fuentes primarias: historia oral y documentación de archivo. Para este caso se han realizado diversas entrevistas a los principales actores y se han consultado el International Institute of Social History (IISH) en Amsterdam, el Centro de Documentación 25 de Abril (CD25A) asociado a la Universidade de Coimbra y el CIDAC en Lisboa.

“…In the case of Francoist Spain, the theme of anticommunism endured to the regime’s very end, culminating in the controversy surrounding the legalization of the Spanish Communist Party in 1977 (Linz & Stepan, 1996, p. 96). Likewise, anticommunism was a central unifying, motivating, and legitimizing element for Salazar’s Estado Novo in Portugal (Pinto & Rezola, 2007) and for the Greek Junta (Kornetis, 2013).…”

How do the labels left and right take on meaning in new democracies? Existing explanations point to the universality of the left–right scheme or, reversely, emphasize regionally dominant social cleavages. We propose an alternative legacy-focused theory based on two observations: Dictatorships are not ideologically neutral and are negatively evaluated by most citizens and elites after democratization. These premises lead us to expect that when the authoritarian regime is associated with the left (right), the citizens of a new democracy will display an antileft (antiright) bias in their left–right self-identification. We test this hypothesis across Latin American and European new democracies. We find significant bias, which in the case of new democracies following left-wing regimes is concealed due to intercohort heterogeneity. Although older cohorts denote a positive bias, cohorts born after Stalin’s era denote negative bias against the left. Consistent with our expectations, repression exacerbates this bias whereas indoctrination mitigates it. Finally, we look at how these biases apply to party preferences. The findings have important implications for understanding authoritarian legacies and party system development in new democracies.
