The Armed Forces Movement and April 25 - Freedom | Democracy | Peace | Decolonisation
An edition born from an exhibition of beautiful photographs. In the book, annotated, explained.
One of those books we leave within easy reach, for people to pick up in the living room while they talk. It illustrates the end of a model of power that, I believe, most of us do not appreciate.
If this goes wrong, don't worry. Like the Hungarians, we will eventually come to our senses. And, like them, we too will deal with the problem. But it was unnecessary for us to have to go through this. Again, I say.
"The catalogue now being published extends and consolidates the MFA and 25 de Abril exhibition, presented at the Gare MarÃtima de Alcântara in April 2024, as part of the programme of the Commemorative Commission for the 50 Years of 25 de Abril.
This publication aims to preserve, for future memory, one of the central stages of the celebrations dedicated to the history of the Armed Forces Movement, the operation that put an end to almost half a century of dictatorship, and the process that led Portugal to freedom, democracy, and peace."
Maria Inácia Rezola, Executive Commissioner of the Commemorative Commission for the 50 Years of 25 de Abril
