INTEGRALIST MILITANCY IN LINS AT THE END OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Abstract

Integralism never recovered the power it had in the 1930s, especially after Plínio Salgado's death in 1975. But the remaining militants kept active, trying to reorganize and act, albeit officially out of the political game. In the 1990s, newspapers and newsletters were published and sent to various states and entities. Among them was a newspaper published in Lins/SP, which combined the defense of integralist doctrine with the everyday life of the city. A Voz do Oeste was the late 20th century integralist newspaper that came closest to the mainstream press, bearing ads and "news", although contextualized by the ideological perspective of the publisher. This article aims to analyze the coexistence of integralist militancy and the everyday life of the city of Lins in the newspaper A Voz do Oeste during the 1990s. The newspaper presented itself to the public as being in the service of the population in various situations, even in supervising the public power, but also in discussing the practices considered appropriate or not to the daily life of the population.
