mostra di piùOn 25th April, 1975, the BBC report: "Army rebels are in control of Portugal tonight after an almost bloodless dawn coup ended nearly 50 years of dictatorship.
Shortly after midnight, tanks rolled into the centre of Lisbon. The Salazar Bridge over the River Tagus was seized and the airport, radio and television centres were taken.
Troops armed with machineguns stormed the barracks where the Prime Minister, Dr Marcello Caetano, and several of his ministers had taken refuge.
The former deputy armed forces minister, General Antoniio de Spinola, received the surrender of the prime minister, who has now fled into exile to the Portuguese island of Madeira."
What happens next, less than 50 years ago in mainland Europe, changes Portugal for good and becomes an emblem for peaceful revolution and change. Find out more on this episode of the GMP! with our resident historian and community member Eusebio Barata.
