Domingos Oliveira
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Domingos Augusto Alves da Costa e Oliveira, GCTE (pron. IPA: [du'mĩguʃ dɐ 'kɔʃtɐ i oli'vɐiɾɐ]) (31 July 1873, Lisbon –24 December 1957, Lisbon) was a Portuguese politician and general. He was nominated, on January 21, 1930, Prime Minister of Portugal (President of the Council of Ministers) during the period of the Ditadura Nacional (National Dictatorship) that preceded the Estado Novo (New State). A conservative, he opposed all the attempts to restore democracy, like the failed military uprising of April and May 1931 in Madeira and the Azores Islands. The popularity and political role demonstrated by the Finance Minister, António de Oliveira Salazar, led him to resign on June 25, 1932. He was replaced by his minister, who reached the leadership of the government, a post Salazar would retain for the following 36 years.
