Portugal on Thursday marks 50 years since the Carnation Revolution, a military coup that ended its colonial wars in Africa and ushered in a democracy that has recently had a brush with the far right.
LISBON: Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho, architect of the so-called Carnation Revolution that ended more than four decades of dictatorship in Portugal, died on Sunday aged 84, the April Captains group announced. Known in Portugal simply as Otelo, he died at Lisbon’s military hospital, spokesman for the group behind the April 1974 revolution, Colonel Vasco Lourenco, told national media. The high-profile but controversial figure played a key role in the bloodless coup that brought sweeping social, economic and political changes to Portugal. The so-called Carnation Revolution played out in the early hours of April 25, 1974, ending a dictatorship that had lasted from 1926 under Antonio de Oliveira Salazar and from 1968 under Marcelo Caetano.
