About This Book

A conference speech analyzes the political confusion following the December 5 revolution and argues that recent elections validated a conservative demand for order personified by Sidónio Pais. The speaker contrasts a preceding republican mediocrity and demagogy with the discipline promised by a military-supported leadership, isolating positive factors clustered around that leader and negative factors tied to the republican atmosphere. He asserts that the nation favors decisive authority over the anonymity of parliamentary sovereignty and calls for a free plebiscite to settle the choice of institutions. The address evaluates the revolution as a bid to restore public order while urging intellectuals to clarify opinion and guide institutional resolution.
