Interviewed by the leading Portuguese newspaper, Diario de Noticias, Dennis Redmont runs through his extensive and eventful memory to revisit the oppressive years of Salazar’s regime in the ‘60s in Portugal.
Censorship pervaded society, as both national and foreign journalists and publishers were constantly monitored and frequently badgered by the PIDE, the International and State Political Police. The media landscape within Portuguese borders was controlled by the government, so the only way accurate news could circulate was through foreign news platforms. “Pereira Maintains”, the renowned novel written by Antonio Tabucchi, perfectly illustrates the atmosphere experienced by Redmont.
As a young correspondent of the Associated Press, Dennis Redmont reported many gloomy stories on Portugal’s national and foreign affairs, which were carried in newspapers such as Le Monde, The Times and The New York Times. The Portuguese regime did not bite the bullet.
