Celeste Caeiro, 50 years later.

Sometimes, shaping history comes down to something as mundane as handing out flowers.

Here’s a good summary of the challenges faced by Portugal at a time we celebrate 50 years of democracy. In this article for The Guardian, Vicente Valentim brings some insights from his research on right-wing populism into an analysis of the Portuguese case.

🌹🌹🌹25 de Abril e 50 anos de democracia em Portugal! Uma grande leitura sobre esse dia importantissimo e o que ele significa no contexto de hoje. A solid read on the significance of this important day in today’s political climate in Portugal.

Many British friends find it hard to believe that Portugal was a dictatorship until 1974.

An excellent piece from my mate Vicente Valentim in The Guardian today to celebrate the 50th anniversary of democracy in Portugal.

Quite a journey ever since and lots of challenges ahead!

I have written for the The Guardian about the anniversary of the Portuguese revolution, my favourite day of the year, and about some challenges faced by the country after 50 years of democracy.

50 anos de Liberdade. Viva o 25 de abril. Viva Portugal! 🇵🇹

Ontem o lapisdecor 🗯 teve a bondade de partilhar comigo dezenas de fotos tiradas pela sua mãe, Lucília Ribeiro, na tomada da escola da pide e no 1º de maio. Neste último conjunto há umas ótimas, com excelente enquadramento e assim, mas encantei-me com esta que não é nada disso

So grateful for the bravery of the Captains of April (especially Salgueiro Maia) for changing my life and those of other millions of Portuguese by overthrowing Europe’s longest dictatorship.
