The National Propaganda Secretariat, founded in 1933, was the first political institution of the Estado Novo (New State) during the period of the regime’s structuring and consolidation. Following its restructuring in 1944, it became the National Secretariat for Information, a designation it maintained until 1968. Answerable to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, its action was concentrated in the fields of propaganda, information, culture, and tourism. In 1945, a delegation of the secretariat was established in Porto, traditionally a city that was resistant towards the regime. This research seeks to analyze the Porto Delegation. It examines its activities and discusses how these were linked to the Secretariat’s fundamental mission, namely the rhetorical construction of the New State regime.
