April 25, 1974: Day 1 of Democratic Transition in Portugal
This conference explores the passivity of the General Directorate of Security (DGS) - formerly the International Police for the Defense of the State (PIDE) - before and during April 25. It also questions the attitude of government members and the military hierarchy loyal to the dictatorship. What were the main factors of the successful coup? Why wasn't the dictatorship's political police one of the main targets? How did the assault on the DGS premises and the release of political prisoners unfold? The analyst proposes to revisit this pivotal day for Portugal to clarify some persistent questions.
