Partido Socialista Português
The Partido Socialista Português was a Portuguese socialist party .
history
The party was founded on January 10, 1875, following the Hague Congress (1872). In addition to names such as Azedo Gneco and José Fontana , the co-founders also included the poet Antero de Quental .
After its Second Congress (1878), the party was temporarily renamed Partido Operário Socialista Português . From the meanwhile 23 affiliated workers' associations with 48 delegates, the party has now lost numerous members and member associations to the growing anarcho-syndicalism in the country. In 1880 there were still nine member associations.
Congress in 1885 passed a new party program with which the party broke away from the revolutionary struggle and the class struggle, co-inspired by Proudhon's federalism . The anarchist currents continued to grow, and with them the conflicts within the Portuguese workers, especially after the workers' congress in Paris in 1889 .
In 1897 there were further differences of opinion within the party leadership around Azedo Gneco. A group around Ernesto Silva and Teodoro Ribeiro supported an alliance with the Partido Republicano , while a majority were against.
The party experienced another rift in 1919 when part of the party supported the authoritarian head of government Sidónio Pais , while the group around Minister Augusto Dias da Silva acted against Pais.
The party congresses in 1919 ( Figueira da Foz ) and 1922 ( Tomar ) followed in June 1924 by the XI. Congress, in Porto . This was the last legal party congress.
After the coup d'état of May 28, 1926, led by General Gomes da Costa , the party slipped into illegality, where it fought against the resulting military dictatorship with numerous other banned parties. In 1931 the party was one of the founders of the Aliança Republicana Socialista , an alliance that was also formed by Partido Republicano Português , União Liberal Republicana (ULR), Esquerda Democrática , Partido Radical and Partido Republicano Nacionalista .
From March 11-13, 1933, the party's last conference took place in Coimbra . With the adoption of the new constitution on April 11, 1933, the semi-fascist dictatorship of the Estado Novo then abolished all parties and established its one-party system, the União Nacional . As a result, all structures of the Partido Socialista Português dissolved.
The ruling party Partido Socialista, founded on April 19, 1973 in Bad Münstereifel , Germany, invokes the historical Partido Socialista Português .
