    I lived in Portugal in 1991 and taught two lovely men, Jose and Jorge. On 24 April 1974 Jose had received his call up papers and his team, Sporting, had lost in the semi-final of the European Cup Winners Cup. Understandably he was very sad. The next day his life changed. i was in tears when he told me the story. Viva Portugal!!

      erika hammer ramalho I disagree with you , nao sei se falas portugues por isso vou.te responder em ingles. Portugese education has always included foreign languages as an obligatory lesson ..especially in the Salazar era. The fact that there were indeed many illiterals , had nothing to do with that dictator.But it had everything to do with Portugese mentality of that era.You can still find Some illiteral people in Portugal, especially in rural areas. But he had definitly a part in the honger part , and prosecution and exhilement of hundreds if not thousends of oppossition members and Anyone suspected of anti-Salazar thaughts. It brought Portugal in a state of paranoia where you could denounce you neighbour to the PIDE ( Salazars secret police ) if you didnt like him and tell them he was a communist or a revolutionary, and he would be tortured and exhiled to one of the colonies. This was the saddest page of Portugese history , after slavery and colonizations off course.He was a racist, a dictator , oppressor without a doubt...But Education in Portugal under Salazar, was exemplary. We should have never killed Our king and his son.Viva a monarquia!!

    I’m an American and I’ve been living in Portugal for the last two years, hoping to obtain permanent residency and eventually citizenship. If I can pass the Portuguese language class lol. I watched this documentary and was quite moved. I think I would’ve been around 14 when the revolution happened. I also like that they have named their famous bridge the 24 April in honor of this momentous occasion rather than naming it for a person. I find that when we name monuments for people we are idolizing them and that’s the beginning of propaganda and etc. People shouldn’t be put into iconic status. Butcevents of freedom and overcoming oppression Should definitely be memorialized and celebrated.

      @DF-ss5ep Месяц назад

      As a foreigner, you probably don't have a good perspective on this. Even Portuguese people often don't. If you are interested, there's a lot more to the story to dig into, as in all historical events. There are complications, details, and perspectives that are forgotten or deliberately ignored.. With this revolution, Portugal moved in the right direction, but romanticizing it too much has been a source of many problems.
      (WIth that said, there are also those on the extreme-right who blame everything on the revolution. To be fair, before the dictatorship, Portugal already had problems, it was already poorer than other European countries. And the dictatorship suppressed moderate political movements, so when the revolution happened, the USSR-funded communists appeared as the strongest force)

    Whatever problems or biases it has, this report does a very good job conveying the sense of elation in the crowds, and mentions some unease about the future, and generally gave a good first glimpse to me as a person who has never heard about this revolution before.
    Now I am interested enough to look up Wikipedia and watch a couple other videos from other sources, to find out what came of it in the next 50 years.

    I can't believe that despite being barely 12 years old, (turned 12 on 4th May 1974) that I witnessed this magnificent revolution in Portugal's history! It wasn't totally blood free thanks to the spiteful PIDE (Portuguese Staci equivalent) that murdered 5 Portuguese citizens demonstrating outside PIDE's building.😢
    We lived in the outskirts of Lisbon, and I was just happy to have a school off day, but this day will live on forever in my mind. It changed Portugal drastically and gave us freedoms only dreamed of.
    My dad was in the thick of it. He had left home at his usual 4:30 in the AM to commute to his 6:00 AM start job in Lisbon downtown. We were close to the neighborhood of Pontinha, (where the military commanders had planned the coup) he immediately realized something serious (yet hopeful) was going on. There were military vehicles and military personnel everywhere already at 5:00 AM. Dad was in the Portuguese political underground, and expecting something like this to soon happen, so we were very relieved when he finally came home later in the day, happy, safe and sound.
    Soon after, the political instability of my country brought fear to many including dad. Afraid of an impending civil war, my dad and mom gave up everything, sold everything and we moved out to the USA, where I lived close to 40 years, having finally returned home 6 years ago, just like my sister.
    Now that I am back home, I so appreciate the courage, risk and sacrifice of our military, true heroes along with the 5 murdered civilians. They died for our freedom, may they RIP. Long live freedom and long live ❤Portugal❤

      1974 foi o primeiro ano em que se recolheram dados relativos ao desemprego bruto -- 67,5 milhares -- continuou em crescendo até 1979. Mesmo que o salto inicial se devesse à chegada de ex-colonos, desde então, a população desempregada bruta nunca voltou a valores de 74. O mais baixo (tanto bruto como percentual) foi em 92, e mesmo assim foi mais do dobro (194,1 milhares). Não se verificaram mudanças estruturais: mesmo ignorando os valores altíssimos da crise de 2008, os valores percentuais atuais continuam acima dos de 92.

Quem podia apoiar uma polícia política ou não consegue conviver com uma opinião diferente? Só quem tem tiques ditatoriais. E nem por ouvirem neste documentário a desgraça porque passavam as tropas portuguesas no ultramar, nem assim aprendem. Depois, deturpam factos, culpando o próprio povo pelo analfabetismo existente, como se as pessoas tivessem dinheiro para mandar os filhos estudar e seguir para um curso superior. Não percebem que a pobreza material trás consigo a miséria de espírito que lhes poderia bloquear alguma mentalidade sobre a importância de estudar. Também se esquecem que uma mulher não podia viajar fora do país sem autorização do marido, muito igual ao que fazem os muçulmanos. O 25 de Abril não foi para fazer um país rico mas sim para acabar com a guerra colonial (íamos perder e bater em retirada tal como os americanos no Vietname) e para repor as liberdades democráticas. O que aconteceu depois, foi o resultado de muita confusão e do envolvimento da extrema direita e da extrema esquerda.

      I actually did some digging to try and find if he was a heeb. Tengarrinha is a very very uncommon surname, so you can't really find much from that, but according to Sephardicgen, all of his other surnames are common among Jews here in Portugal.

      Os comunas de PT tem poucas soluções no cartório, estão ultrapassados e obsoletos(não são os unicos), não tem os mecanismos para fazer a transição para o verdadeiro comunismo, ficam-se quase sempre por monetarismo e ditadura,não do proletariado,mas dos vanguardistas, que pode atingir moldes igualmente maus ás ditaduras de direita.
      Quase todos os paises comunistas foram uma vergonha, quase tão mau como o estado novo, o melhor foi a União Soviética, pois foi o único pais que tentou verdadeiramente chegar ao comunismo primário, e apesar de não ter tecnologia, quase o consegiu em termos genéricos, não fosse a Nomenklatura altamente corrupta(temendo pelo seu próprio poder) rejeitar as reformas cientificas-económicas propostas por um ciêntista génio ucrâniano,que evitaria a queda da União e talvez a fizesse ganhar a guerra fria por meios económico- diplomáticos.

      Tem que ver as diversas situações à luz da História. O movimento que derrubou o ditador cubano Batista, apoiado pelos EUA, foi empurrado para os braços da URSS pelas sanções e tentativas de golpes norte americanas. A Coreia do Norte, tal como existe, é uma criação da Guerra Fria, com tanta responsabilidade americana como soviética. Na altura, o PCP era a mais antiga e principal força de resistência à ditadura fascista em Portugal.

You colonialists stained the reputation of Portugal with your greed and bloodlust to keep your privileges in Africa of living in hedonism and laziness on the product of plunder and exploitation, while we in Portugal were being oppressed and starved and africans were being slaughtered.
      None of you should have been allowed to return to Portugal, you should have had the same fate as the nazis after Hitler was defeated, being trialed for crimes against humanity and end up hanging from a rope, murderous filth.
      You shamed Portugal just to live in privilege, hedonism and laziness.

      Our HDI metrics were the same as some poor countries in Africa and our reputation was destroyed by the multiple genocides commited in Africa.
      Queen Elisabeth II didn't want to visit Portugal not to be associated with the last fascist tyrant in Europe that kept his own people under suffocating oppression and staggering poverty. The Quen was convinced to visit Portugal by her advisors only because of NATO partnership.
