Imagine.
Waking up today to find that the dictatorship that has oppressed and murdered your people for 48 years is gone.
A revolution, started with a song, symbolized by a carnation, for the people.
I was one of many thousands on the streets of Porto, and Portugal, last night, celebrating the 52nd anniversary.
I cried with joy and hope. Change is possible.

Hui és 25 d'abril. Els valencians recordem què espanya ens va furtar el nostre estat i govern de més de mig segle. #PutaEspanya
Casualment, el mateix dia a Itàlia celebren l'alliberament del control nazi-feixista i a Portugal l'inici de la revolta contra la dictadura militar.
Buona giornata! Bom dia!

"Burchett would go on to interview some of the main protagonists of the Portuguese Revolution, including MFA leaders like Vasco Gonçalves, Ernesto de Melo Antunes and Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho. He zigzagged across the country, venturing into the inland northern region of Trás-os-Montes, to fishing towns like Peniche, and into the heart of the Alentejo region, in the south. His narrative is colourful and rich in detail, discussing the Portuguese Revolution in its national and international dimensions with the skill that only an experienced international correspondent could achieve. After decades of reporting from hotspots like China, Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia, the journalist was well positioned to understand the magnitude of the Portuguese revolutionary process and the disintegration of empire in the global context of the Cold War.
In a style reminiscent of George Orwell’s journalistic output in books like Homage to Catalonia or The Road to Wigan Pier, Burchett offers a mixture of reflection, analysis and intimate interviews with important historical protagonists of the revolutionary process in the capital, Lisbon, but also with average people in the provinces – farmers, fishermen, factory workers. As a result, he captured the zeitgeist of the revolution like few could. He unapologetically revealed his enthusiasm for the captains who led the coup and for the social mobilisations taking place in the streets, factories and farms around the country.
Burchett’s journalistic output during the Cold War was often labelled by his detractors as communist propaganda against the West. But Burchett always vehemently denied being a member of a communist party."

51 years today since the overthrow of the dictatorship in Portugal.
When I saw the four young women standing in front of this mural in Lagos it struck me that they were born roughly only a quarter century after the military coup and subsequent civil resistance campaign which spelled the end of 48 years of authoritarian rule in Portugal and the country's withdrawal from its colonies. What if it had never happened? How different would their lives be?

Today - the 25th of April - marks the 51st anniversary of the Carnation Revolution that got Portugal rid of its 41 years dictatorship (48 if you count from the military coup).
Contrary to what our center-right govt said about not celebrating it due to the pope's death, it's still a day of remembrance, protest, and celebration. Especially with the ever more present threats to liberty and people, here and everywhere.
