'as mãos da revolução', 2024
or, 'the hands of the revolution'
we're celebrating 50 years of the carnation revolution today in portugal - 50 years since the dictatorship fell, 50 years of being able to express yourself without fear of beatings, incarceration or worse.
it is a date that sits very close to my heart despite being a post-revolution baby. i have enjoyed over 30 years of freedom and i try to not take it for granted.

Happy Portuguese Freedom Day! 🌸
Today Portugal remembers the nonviolent rebellion that ended a 50-year long dictatorship; reestablished democracy in the country and led the path to decolonisation and independence for Angola, Cape Verde, São Tomé e Príncipe, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau.

From the documentary As Armas e o Povo (Weapons and the People), 1975
A massive crowd attends the commemorations of May 1st in 1974, the first ever to be celebrated in Portugal, 5 days after the fall of the fascist dictatorship. During the dictatorship, people were not allowed to manifest or speak freely, and thousands of socialists, communists, and people affiliated with worker rights and student organizations were persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and killed.
The Movement of the Armed Forces, composed by a group of leftist, low ranking army officials, started the revolution with a coup d'etat that overthrew the fascist government.

I am naively hoping that the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution will remind the people of my country that fascism isn't the answer.
Let's make it to a century of democracy and many more after that.
