Lusitanian Integralism

Lusitanian Integralism (Integralismo Lusitano), was a political and social movement that emerged shortly before WWI in Portugal. It was a traditional, monarchist, and anti-parliamentary, movement created under the influence of catholicism and unionism. It was supported mainly by people in academic positions and created a theoretical basis for considering the political economy of republican liberalism as illegitimate.

Many of the supporters of the 1926 military coup that took control of Portugal were followers of this movement. Prominent supporters included João Pereira da Rosa and Alfredo da Silva.
