However, his romantic life was more nuanced. He had a significant relationship with , and most notably, a long-distance, high-stakes romance with Christine Garnier , a French journalist. Garnier’s 1952 book, Vacances avec Salazar (Vacations with Salazar), was a rare attempt to humanize the dictator, though it was carefully managed by his censors to ensure his "saintly" image remained intact. The Myth of Solitude
António de Oliveira Salazar, the architect of Portugal’s Estado Novo , is often remembered as a cold, ascetic, and calculated statesman. However, his private life—shrouded in secrecy during his 36-year rule—reveals a more complex figure: a man of humble origins who maintained a monastic lifestyle while navigating intense personal relationships. The Monastic Dictator
Salazar cultivated an aura of profound loneliness, famously stating, "I am a man of the mountains." He used this perceived isolation to justify his detachment from the common struggles of the populace, framing it as the necessary sacrifice of a leader. In reality, he was surrounded by a small, loyal circle of academics and officials, yet he rarely allowed anyone to see the man behind the desk. The Final Years
Though he never married, Salazar’s life was not devoid of female companionship. He maintained a lifelong, platonic devotion to , his housekeeper and confidante, who governed his domestic world with an iron fist.
The intersection of his private and public life reached a tragicomic peak in 1968. After suffering a brain hemorrhage (caused by falling from a deck chair), he was replaced by Marcello Caetano. However, until his death in 1970, Salazar’s inner circle staged a "fake" government, allowing him to believe he was still in power—signing papers and holding "cabinet meetings" for a country that had already moved on.
Salazar’s personal habits were famously frugal. Born into a modest family in Vimieiro, he never lost his provincial simplicity. Even at the height of his power, his "palace" at São Bento was known for its lack of luxury. He followed a rigid routine, often working late into the night, and reportedly kept track of every escudo spent on household groceries. This image of the "National Housekeeper" was a powerful propaganda tool, presenting him as a leader solely devoted to the state, with no room for personal indulgence. The Women in the Shadows
Ultimately, the private life of Salazar was his most successful political theater: a blend of genuine austerity and carefully curated mystery that allowed him to rule Portugal as much through his persona as through his policies.

This could have to do with the pathing policy as well. The default SATP rule is likely going to be using MRU (most recently used) pathing policy for new devices, which only uses one of the available paths. Ideally they would be using Round Robin, which has an IOPs limit setting. That setting is 1000 by default I believe (would need to double check that), meaning that it sends 1000 IOPs down path 1, then 1000 IOPs down path 2, etc. That’s why the pathing policy could be at play.
To your question, having one path down is causing this logging to occur. Yes, it’s total possible if that path that went down is using MRU or RR with an IOPs limit of 1000, that when it goes down you’ll hit that 16 second HB timeout before nmp switches over to the next path.
