Liberty Day
- Portugal
by
Colégio Vila Fernando
25 April
The difficult situation of the country, dominated by a decrepit and
corrupt regime, initiated a protest. This increased the degredation of
economic conditions, which were in addition to the already existing world
crisis which started in 1973, and overall prolonged the colonial problems.
These conditions were responsible for the cause of the revolution of
April 25th 1974. This revolution was called the "Revolution of the
Nails". It was a peaceful occurrence where the militaries placed nails
in the barrels of their shotguns.
The 25th of April permitted the re-establishment of the democracy
and decolonization. After some politically colvulsine and economically
dificult years, Portugal has tried to find the path to stability and
progress.
