    The Carnation Revolution

    26 April, Inês Oliveira and Daniela Azevedo, AECCB


    The end of Salazarism
    The revolution started as a military coup organized by military
    officers of the Armed Forces Movement -MFA, who opposed
    the regime, the Generals Spínola and Costa Gomes were
    chosen as leaders of the movement.

    One signal was given, during the night of April, 24, on the radio
    by the broadcasting of the song “E depois do Adeus”. Then, the
    song “Grândola Vila Morena” by Zeca Afonso, was also heard
    on the radiothe first minutes after
    midnight, which confirmed the order
    and marked the beginning of the
    Carnation Revolution.
    The end of Salazarism
    The desire to end colonization
    in Africa, especially in light of
    the violent and costly The banning of new
    Portuguese Colonial War; political parties;

    The economic
    decay;

    Revolution

    Censorship and lack


    of freedom; Difficult living
    conditions that lead
    to mass emigration
    of many Portuguese
    people;
    Carnation Revolution
    The movement of the armed forces brought the soldiers
    out of the barracks for them to spread throughout the
    streets of Lisbon. They seized all the strategic sectors of
    the city: the radio, the television, etc…

    However, the civil population adhered massively to the


    movement and the struggle for democracy; for that
    reason, the regime's reaction was practically
    non-existent.
    CARNATION
    REVOLUTION
    Carnation Revolution
    No attempt was made to resist the movement. The former
    President of the Council, Marcelo Caetano, handed over
    the power to the General Spínola. In twenty four hours,
    the Estado Novo collapsed after a dictatorship of more
    than forty years.
    This movement is called "Carnation Revolution" because
    almost no shots were fired and the population took to the
    streets to commemorate the end of the dictatorship and
    war in the colonies, by putting carnations into the muzzles
    of rifles and on the uniforms of the army men.
     After April
    Decolonization began shortly after and by the end of
    1975.

    One of Lisbon’s two bridges is named after the revolution


    Lisbon’s famous bridge, was named after the revolution
    Ponte 25 de Abril (25 of April Bridge), named for the day
    of the Carnation Revolution. Before this historic day, it
    was the Ponte Salazar (Salazar Bridge).

    In Portugal, 25 April is a national holiday (Portuguese: Dia


    da Liberdade, Freedom Day) which commemorates the
    revolution.
    A New Constitution
    There were several constitutional texts that served as an inspiration
    for the Portuguese constitutional legislator of 1976.

    We have also to mention:

    The German Constitution of 1949 (the catalogue of fundamental


    rights);
    The French Constitution of 1958 (the specific outlines for the figure
    of the President of the Republic);
    The Italian Constitution of 1947 (the recognition of regional
    selfgovernment);
    The Eastern countries Constitution (economic, social and cultural
    rights );
    Generically, the Portuguese Constitution previously.
    Democracy
    Democracy is a form of government in which the people
    have the authority to choose their governing legislation.
    Who people are and how authority is shared among them
    are core issues for democratic theory, development and
    constitution.
    Some cornerstones of these issues are freedom of
    assembly and speech, inclusiveness and equality,
    membership, consent, voting, right to life and minority
    rights.
    Sistema político
    The 1976 Constitution confirms a semi-presidential
    system, with parliamentary influence. The President of the
    Republic and the deputies to the National Assembly are
    elected by direct, secret and universal suffrage.

    The deputies are elected by a plurinominal list, presented


    exclusively by political parties, according to a proportional
    representation system (Hondt's method).
