Portuguese Climate Activists on Trial Represent the True Spirit of April 25

In the coming days we will see many celebrations of April 25, the 50th anniversary of the Portuguese revolution.

In the few places where there wasn't an abundance of military personnel, such as the dictatorship's secret police headquarters in Lisbon, the regime counterattacked by targeting and killing the civilians who were mobilizing outside. But popular disobedience was the key factor in transforming what could only have been a well-executed coup d'état into a social and popular revolution. Those who had spent almost a lifetime obeying a dictatorship decided that enough was enough.
