Francisco Franco, Le Figaro
“
The most complete statesman, the one most worthy of respect, that I have known is Salazar. I regard him as an extraordinary personality for his intelligence, his political sense and his humility. His only defect is probably his modesty.
— Francisco Franco on António de Oliveira Salazar
