Talk:José Vicente de Freitas

In an edit today, I removed some content about the reasons for Salazar's appointment as Finance Minister. I didn't want to guess what "attempt to different countries the party" might mean, the source I was reading didn't offer a similar explanation, and perhaps it isn't too relevant inasmuch as it seems to have little to do with Freitas himself - attempts to enlist Salazar had already been made, before Freitas.

I also made the explanation of the demise of the Freitas government quite a bit shorter. It could certainly be elaborated, but the previous material was unclear. Look for "portaria dos sinos" for material relevant to the church edicts. See "Lei da Separação do Estado das Igrejas"; I have the impression that the Évora edict implemented this, and the Salazar faction opposed some or all of it, but am unclear on the history beyond that.
