Manuel Tito de Morais

He was the brother of Maria Palmira Tito de Morais, a pioneer in the field of nursing in Portugal.

In 1945, with the end of World War II and the beginning of new democratic movements, he was a Member of the Central Commission of the Movimento de Unidade Democrática (MUD).

However, due to the political conditionments of the Estado Novo, he was forced to exile in the Portuguese overseas territory of Angola, where two of his sons were born in the 1950s, France, Brazil, Algeria, where Manuel Alegre and other resistant elements, many of whom Socialists as him, did also live[2] and where another son was born in the 1960s, Switzerland, Italy and West Germany.

In Algeria he was the Director of the Junta de Salvação Nacional and, in Geneva in 1964, he founded the Associação Socialista Portuguesa (ASP), which later originated the Socialist Party (PS) in 1973, of which he was also one of the Founders and a Militant.
