For 30 years, a bust of Salazar's head has been hidden away in the city hall's attic after the rest of the statue was blown up during the revolution. Now the mayor wants to resurrect the statue, next to a planned Salazar museum. Plans also are in the works for a Salazar gift shop, T-shirts and commemorative figurines.
In a potent sign that a historical reckoning is finally taking place, a new satirical play - "Salazar, the Musical" - is now drawing large crowds on a Lisbon stage.
On a recent night, the audience howled with laughter as the pious Salazar, who never married and was staunchly Catholic, was depicted as an ineffectual and lecherous womanizer who kills his mother, gropes dancing nuns and leaves the running of the country to his famously powerful secretary and housekeeper, Doña María.

what my momma says:
"No, I have not read it, but this is overblown and not significant.
There was another article about the portuguese economy and portuguese
link to Africa. The fact is that there are a lot of jornalists that
are now stationed in Portugal because of the Portuguese presidency of
UE, so they have to earn their living by writing of what is closest,
even though they know little about it. I think we will see more
articles like this that are just crap."
