Carnation Revolution

A statement marking the 52nd anniversary of Portugal’s Carnation Revolution, when the Portuguese people ended nearly 40 years of dictatorship peacefully on April 25, 1974, with soldiers placing carnations in their rifles. A Liberal member noted that many Portuguese Canadians in her riding remember this fight for freedom, and said that democracy is under threat around the world today and that Canada must continue defending it.Written by AI from the debate.
