I’m Portuguese. I wish that were true, but unfortunately it isn’t. Currently at least 1/3 of Portuguese people love fascism. Ventura, leader of the far-right Chega party, has even stated that Portugal needs not one but three Salazars without losing popularity for it. Currently, they are the second most voted party, having surpassed the PS (center-left) in the last elections. And the ruling party, PSD, supposedly center-right, has been adopting increasingly extreme measures in an attempt to compete with its newest rival.

P.S.: By the way, looking hispanic isn’t very relevant here. The concept of “white” in Europe is different from that used in North America. Fascists here generally prefer to use the name of the largest ethnic group in the country they are in instead of “white” as the superior group. “White” here is even used in certain more radical circles to refer to a mixed person of different European “races” who cannot trace their ancestry to a single “pure” nationality. Basically, many “white” Americans could be seen as “mutts” by some of these lunatics.
