Abstract

This article deals with the ideas and discussions about the foundation, maintenance and closing of Portugal Free newspaper, published in São Paulo, Brazil, for Portuguese exiles the New State in the country at the turn of the fifties to sixties. The proposal is to study not only the newspaper itself, but the discussions leading up to its creation and permeated issues of how the opposition should act in exile; the positions opposite the colonial question; and the different parties involved. Thus, the temporal cut is slightly larger than the paper's life itself, comprising the period between 1958 and 1961.
