Julio Rey Pastor (Logroño, España, 14 de agosto de 1888 - Buenos Aires, Argentina, 21 de febrero de 1962)

En Octubre de 1948, en una escala de su barco en Río de Janeiro, Monteiro conoció a Julio Rey Pastor. Don Julio iba camino de Holanda, para participar en el International Congress of Mathematicians. Monteiro quedó cautivado por la simpatía y vivacidad del visitante.
Discutieron largamente el proyecto de crear una Biblioteca Matemática Latino Americana, cuestión directamente relacionada con los intereses de Monteiro, ya desde sus tiempos en Portugal. En el primer día de sus reuniones Monteiro habló a Rey Pastor de su deseo de dejar Brasil. El asunto no volvió a ser discutido hasta el momento de su despedida. Rey Pastor le dijo a Monteiro que se había tomado ya la libertad de escribir sobre ese asunto a su discípulo Alberto González Domínguez, consultándole acerca de la posibilidad de gestionar un contrato para él en La Plata o en Cuyo. Si todo fallara, le gustaría invitarlo a dictar un curso de cuatro meses en Buenos Aires. También prometió despachar una carta a sus amigos de Caracas desde Bahia.

"In March 1975, invoking anti-terrorist legislation, one of these rapidly changing «interventores» sacked Emeritus Professor António Monteiro from the Universidad del Sur, in Bahía Blanca. It was prohibited for him to enter University premises.
The impact of this action was extraordinary. Outside Argentina it was difficult to understand it. All who knew him were aware of his lifelong opposition to the regime of Salazar in Portugal, which in the end made him and several others leave Portugal. His opposition stemmed from very high moral standards and a deep sense of justice, which lead him to hold socialist views he never abandoned and to have a lifelong rejection of violence. He was not a political man, but with a high sense of honour, was never a courtesan of those in power.
It was difficult to see how a country that had received so much from such an eminent scientist could behave in this irresponsible manner.
The reaction in Argentina was one of shock. Professor Alberto P. Calderón and three other eminent mathematicians requested the «interventor» of the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, en Buenos Aires, to invite Monteiro, who was not a sponsored member, to join it at the highest rank. The generous letter, dated April 21 (and enlarged on April 24) points to the outstanding contributions of Monteiro to Argentina’s science and indicates that «…he continues to be the soul of the Department, which was his own creation» (4).
Monteiro did receive support from the Consejo for a period. At times his financial situation was far from good. I remember that in one of my visits to him, after he was separated from the University, I estimated his pension, which in rapidly inflating pesos did not mean very much to me, at the equivalent of a few kilograms of coffee a month.
Unfortunately there were even more serious problems for him. Monteiro was deeply worried about Luiz, his son and his dedicated disciple in Mathematical Logic. Luiz was being kept in detention without a charge. Fortunately he was released after some months, after strong pressures on the government, when it became clear that there was nothing on which he could be charged".
