ABSTRACT
The Good Press Youth Crusade, at Rua do Ouvidor 27, had the purpose of rebuilding connections between integralists in Rio de Janeiro amidst its illegal status. Miguel Reale was open about his dissatisfaction with fascism and his lack of hope regarding the survival of the AIB. Gustavo Barroso’s close connections to intellectuals allowed him to move freely during the Estado Novo, despite his markedly anti-Semitic discourse and radical political stances. The integralist leader was sure he would settle an agreement with Getúlio Vargas, making his arrest and exile temporary. People in exile commonly live in uncomfortable situations, far from their country, and with limited relationships. Portugal was an open space for the integralist leader. Green-blouse Augusta Garcia Rocha Dorea was even more emphatic: “Plínos’s religious apostolate was more intense in Portugal during his seven years of exile, the Portuguese even considered him the fifth evangelist”.
