63 Socialist Party / Partido Socialista
(PS)Although the Socialist Party's origins can be traced back to the 1850s, its existence has not been continuous. The party did not achieve or maintain a large base of support until after the Revolution of 25 April 1974. Historically, it played only a minor political role when compared to other European socialist parties.During the Estado Novo, the PS found it difficult to maintain a clandestine existence, and the already weak party literally withered away. Different groups and associations endeavored to keep socialist ideals alive, but they failed to create an organizational structure that would endure. In 1964, Mário Soares, Francisco Ramos da Costa, and Manuel Tito de Morais established the Portuguese Socialist Action / Acção Socialista Português (ASP) in Geneva, a group of individuals with similar views rather than a true political party. Most members were middle-class professionals committed to democratizing the nation. The rigidity of the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) led some to join the ASP.By the early 1970s, ASP nuclei existed beyond Portugal in Paris, London, Rome, Brussels, Frankfurt, Sweden, and Switzerland; these consisted of members studying, working, teaching, researching, or in other activities. Extensive connections were developed with other foreign socialist parties. Changing conditions in Portugal, as well as the colonial wars, led several ASP members to advocate the creation of a real political party, strengthening the organization within Portugal, and positioning this to compete for power once the regime changed.The current PS was founded clandestinely on 19 April 1973, by a group of 27 exiled Portuguese and domestic ASP representatives at the Kurt Schumacher Academy of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung in Bad Munstereifel, West Germany. The founding philosophy was influenced by nondogmatic Marxism as militants sought to create a classless society. The rhetoric was to be revolutionary to outflank its competitors, especially the PCP, on its left. The party hoped to attract reform-minded Catholics and other groups that were committed to democracy but could not support the communists.At the time of the 1974 revolution, the PS was little more than an elite faction based mainly among exiles. It was weakly organized and had little grassroots support outside the major cities and larger towns. Its organization did not improve significantly until the campaign for the April 1975 constituent elections. Since then, the PS has become very pragmatic and moderate and has increasingly diluted its socialist program until it has become a center-left party. Among the party's most consistent principles in its platform since the late 1970s has been its support for Portugal's membership in the European Economic Community (EEC) and the European Union (EU), a view that clashed with those of its rivals to the left, especially the PCP. Given the PS's broad base of support, the increased distance between its leftist rhetoric and its more conservative actions has led to sharp internal divisions in the party. The PS and the Social Democratic Party (PSD) are now the two dominant parties in the Portuguese political party system.In doctrine and rhetoric the PS has undergone a de-Marxification and a movement toward the center as a means to challenge its principal rival for hegemony, the PSD. The uneven record of the PS in general elections since its victory in 1975, and sometimes its failure to keep strong legislative majorities, have discouraged voters. While the party lost the 1979 and 1980 general elections, it triumphed in the 1983 elections, when it won 36 percent of the vote, but it still did not gain an absolute majority in the Assembly of the Republic. The PSD led by Cavaco Silva dominated elections from 1985 to 1995, only to be defeated by the PS in the 1995 general elections. By 2000, the PS had conquered the commanding heights of the polity: President Jorge Sampaio had been reelected for a second term, PS prime minister António Guterres was entrenched, and the mayor of Lisbon was João Soares, son of the former socialist president, Mário Soares (1986-96).The ideological transformation of the PS occurred gradually after 1975, within the context of a strong PSD, an increasingly conservative electorate, and the de-Marxification of other European Socialist parties, including those in Germany and Scandinavia. While the PS paid less attention to the PCP on its left and more attention to the PSD, party leaders shed Marxist trappings. In the 1986 PS official program, for example, the text does not include the word Marxism.Despite the party's election victories in the mid- and late-1990s, the leadership discovered that their grasp of power and their hegemony in governance at various levels was threatened by various factors: President Jorge Sampaio's second term, the constitution mandated, had to be his last.Following the defeat of the PS by the PSD in the municipal elections of December 2001, Premier Antônio Guterres resigned his post, and President Sampaio dissolved parliament and called parliamentary elections for the spring. In the 17 March 2002 elections, following Guterres's resignation as party leader, the PS was defeated by the PSD by a vote of 40 percent to 38 percent. Among the factors that brought about the socialists' departure from office was the worsening post-September 11 economy and disarray within the PS leadership circles, as well as charges of corruption among PS office holders. However, the PS won 45 percent of the vote in parliamentary elections of 2005, and the leader of the party, José Sócrates, a self-described "market-oriented socialist" became prime minister.Historical dictionary of Portugal > Socialist Party / Partido Socialista

69 Boston
I [ˊbostǝn] г. Бостон, столица и крупнейший город штата Массачусетс (ок. 600 тыс. жителей). Ассоциируется с «отцами-пилигримами» [‘Pilgrim Fathers'], высадившимися с корабля «Мэйфлауэр» у Плимутской скалы [Plymouth Rock] и основавшими здесь колонию, началом Войны за независимость — «Бостонским чаепитием» [Boston Tea Party], Бостонским кровопролитием [‘Boston Massacre'], «ночной скачкой» [‘midnight ride] Пола Ревира [Revere, Paul], первой стычкой минитменов с английскими войсками, снобизмом бостонского высшего общества, наиболее престижными учебными заведениями США — Гарвардским университетом [Harvard] и Массачусетским технологическим институтом [Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Бостонским симфоническим оркестром и его летними концертами [Boston Pops]; газетой «Крисчен сайенс монитор» [Christian Science Monitor], кланом Кеннеди, спортивными командами «Бруинз» и «Келтикс» и ужасными водителями, худшими в США (по крайней мере, на всём его Атлантическом побережье). Бостон знаменит красивым расположением на холмах у залива, богатой историей (по сути, это вся история США до Войны за независимость и большая часть после, которую американцы изучают в школе). Бостон отличают небольшие размеры ( центральную часть можно обойти пешком). Вам нравятся музеи? Бостонские одни из лучших в мире. Искусство? Его школы искусств высочайшего класса, галереям нет числа ( не обойдёшь и за неделю). Любите музыку? Бостонский симфонический — это лишь начало; это город, где концерты камерной музыки проходят в переполненных залах, где любители джаза слушают его часами в уютных подземных кафе, город, куда возвращаются звёзды музыки в стиле «рок» и «фолк», чтобы выступить в клубах, где начиналась их карьера. Оперная труппа Бостона и Бостонский балет не нуждаются в рекламе, но в городе сейчас много и коллективов современного танца. В драматических театрах выступают не только бродвейские труппы, но и свои, с репертуаром от Шекспира до экспериментальных авангардистских пьес. В кинотеатрах не только премьеры фильмов, но и кинофестивали истории кино с участием кинозвёзд прошлого — Чаплина, Дитрих, Богарта. Университеты и колледжи, различные культурные центры открывают неограниченные возможности для самообразования — от докторских степеней до шестинедельного курса по часу в день в обеденный перерыв для тех, кто хочет научиться ремонтировать свою машину. Бостон — это город многих этнических групп, и бостонец поблизости от своего дома может купить в разных магазинах китайские пельмени, греческие маслины, сирийский сыр, сладкий португальский хлеб и т.п. Город славится своими «дарами моря», особ. рыбными блюдами из молодой трески [scrod]. Бостонцы уверяют, что у них самая плохая погода в мире, неприятна зима с холодными пронизывающими ветрами. А для американцев, приезжающих сюда на автомобилях, самое неприятное в мире — это бостонские водители. Особенно опасным бывает движение в рабочие дни во второй половине дня по направлению к Каллаханскому туннелю [Callahan Tunnel], Тобинскому мосту [Tobin Bridge] или мысу Кейп- Код [*Cape Cod].

72 Sá Carneiro, Francisco Lumbralles
(1934-1980)Important political leader in the early years of post-1974 Portugal. Trained and educated as a lawyer at the University of Lisbon Law School, he was an up-and-coming young lawyer and liberal Catholic activist in the 1960s. A practicing lawyer in Oporto, Sá Carneiro was selected to be one of a number of younger deputies in the National Assembly during the brief "opening" phase of Prime Minister Marcello Caetano's period of the Estado Novo. He became a deputy upon consenting to adhere to two conditions for his selection; namely, maintaining Portugal's colonial policy in Africa and advocating "social peace" through reforms. But he refused to join the regime's official movement, the União Nacional. Soon discouraged by the continued intransigence of the conservative forces still controlling regime policy, despite the efforts of Caetano during 1968-70, Sá Carneiro and several others of the recently appointed deputies resigned their posts and went into opposition.Following the Revolution of 25 April 1974, Sá Carneiro and colleagues founded the Social Democrat Party (PSD). The highly respected lawyer and spokesman for centrist views became fully involved in the unstable politics of the early Revolutionary period. Named prime minister in January 1980, Sá Carneiro became the political man of the hour in Portugal. The PSD under Sá Carneiro leadership formed the core of a right of center electoral coalition named the Democratic Alliance (AD), which was composed of the PSD, Christian Democratic Party (CDS), and PPM during theDecember 1979 interim parliamentary elections. The AD won the election and Sá Carneiro became prime minister. The regular October 1980 legislative elections, which the AD won, reaffirmed the AD's strength as a coalition. Anxious to consolidate political power by having a president who favored AD policies in office and eager to have the AD candidate, General Soares Carneiro, defeat the incumbent, President Ramalho Eanes, Sá Carneiro undertook a vigorous campaign in the presidential elections set for 7 December 1980. On 4 December, bound for Oporto campaign stops, Sá Carneiro's plane crashed and burned only a short distance from the Lisbon airport. Seven official investigations of the crash have not reached definitive conclusions, and the cause of the crash remains a mystery.Historical dictionary of Portugal > Sá Carneiro, Francisco Lumbralles
