Salazar saw no prospects for his regime beyond his death. Nonetheless, the "Estado Novo" persisted under the direction of Marcelo Caetano, Salazar's longtime aide as well as a well-reputed scholar of the University of Lisbon Law School, statesman and distinguished member of the regime who co-wrote the Constitution of 1933. The "Estado Novo" would eventually fall on 25 April 1974 with the Carnation Revolution.
