#25th of April

[maybe-it-wont-last]

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.

//I know nobody but italians actually celebrate this but happy 25th of april to everyone anyway!

To all of you who don't know what it is it's the date Italy was freed from nazis in short. And I'd like to use this day to say fuck you to our prime minister who's a fascist. Got out of my school and there were about 3 posters of her back to back, today I went to celebrate this day as seeing who's in our government it's more important than ever. Fuck all of them.

So happy 25th to all the italians who follow me, all the italians who don't and everyone else cause why not!

50 years. 50 years ago today, Portugal breathed freedom for the first time in 48 years.

We went from 48 years of a fascist dictatorship to democracy overnight. In Portugal, the 25th of April, 1974 is known as Freedom Day, as the Carnation Revolution Day.

Carnation Revolution because there was a florist in that day that, realising that she wouldn't work that day because the country was shut down, started handing out red carnations to the soldiers that she saw on the street where she worked, who put the flowers in their guns. This revolution is also known as the bloodless revolution because (almost) no one died because of it.

Today, my country celebrates 50 years of freedom while, a month ago, 50 fascists were elected for Parliament.

My parents are both older than democracy in Portugal. One of my great grandmothers was 26 when the dictatorship started, 74 when it ended, and died when she was 82.

Today, in the streets, the people sing:

"25th of April always, fascism never again!"

Happy 25th of April!!

May Portugal never again fall under any kind of dictatorship! We don’t want right-wing fascist or communists. We just want freedom, democracy and a flourishing economy!
