Life
Brito Camacho was a member of the Portuguese Republican Party (PRP). When the left-liberal, anti-clerical wing of Afonso da Costa prevailed in the PRP , Brito Camacho left the party with his supporters on February 26, 1912 and founded the Unionist Party , which he chaired for several years during the first republic. He also founded the newspaper A Luta ("The Struggle"), the party newspaper of the unionists, which he headed. In the early stages of the First Republic, he was briefly Minister of Education.
During the First World War , a grand coalition was formed in Portugal, the so-called "government of sacred unity" ( governo da união sagrada ), led by António José de Almeida . The Democrats and Evolutionists , the other two major successor parties to the PRP, had come together to form this government . Brito Camacho was hostile to this government.
He later went to Mozambique , where he was Portuguese governor from 1921 to 1923. His party, the Unionists, had already united with the evolutionists in 1919 to form the Liberal Republican Party .
