Today is the 25th of April, 49th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution🌹 Salazar's regime may be long gone, but it very much shaped the way the country looks today. Here's a thread on how the Estado Novo used urbanism and architecture to impose its vision of Portugal. https://t.co/bEugiRcgxk

OTD in 1974, an officers’ coup overthrew the Portuguese dictatorship in what was termed the Carnation Revolution. Most banks and industries were nationalized, and there began a massive agrarian reform. Portugal disengaged from its colonies in Angola and Mozambique. https://t.co/K3T9bnXIyX

For many, the carnation is just a flower. In Portugal, however, the carnation represents freedom. Today more than ever, this day serves as a reminder of the importance of solidarity and unity among people in times of difficulty. Happy Freedom Day. 🌹 #25deabril #liberdade https://t.co/8u5DZXvVi6
