Abstract

The History of April continues to be the overwhelming and multitudinary experience of the masses in Portugal when they turned the tide of politics, economy, and culture as a whole. This is the most crucial European revolution of the second post-war period. In the biennium of 1974-75, the country, passivized by the fascist dictatorship for more than 40 years, became a place as effervescent as it was imaginative, where millions, actively and consciously, participated in the social poiesis of a new way of life, widely egalitarian and profoundly free. The “democratic counterrevolution” that followed attempted to expunge from the scene that the desires of those from bellow can be more than political spectrums, and that history is not made by States or governments, but, by classes and its movements.
