Abstract
The central political composition of the Brazilian Integralist movement was found in the thinking of the leader, Plinio Salgado. Exiled in Portugal from 1939 to 1946, he returned to Brazil and adopted a new methodological composition through Christian Democracy and the Portuguese Estado Novo. The integralist held two mandates via the Popular Representation Party (PRP), from 1959 to 1963 and 1963 to 1967. After the Institutional Act no. 2, he joined the National Renewal Alliance (ARENA) and again held two terms: 1967-1971 and 1971-1974. This investigation aims to analyze the Salgado parliamentary period, which among other characteristics, was marked by the defense of Portugal in Brazil and by the attempt to establish a corporatist regime similar to the one in Portugal. With a nationalist and basically Catholic perspective, Salazar inspired Plinio, who went on to defend the Lusitanian interests, including those in relation to the particularities of the country, such as the colonial wars.
