“Supreme Ruler of Democracy and Freedom on April 25 and therefore an effective guarantor of stability – he is called – for 50 years, people,” President of the Republic Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa said on Tuesday in a solemn commemorative meeting dedicated to the 49th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution in the Assembly of the Republic. A people that he says also consists of an immigrant population.
“This is a time of hope, because freedom and democracy, even when they bring us many disappointments – a sense of lost time, a delay – always give us hope that dictatorship does not tolerate, which is hope for change. ”, said Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa in an obvious message, given the current political situation in the country.
“In a dictatorship, either you are for the dictatorship, or you fight and overthrow the dictatorship. In a democracy, there is always the opportunity to forge different paths, always. They may take time to appear, they may be insufficient, they may be imperfect, but they always exist, they have always existed during these 50 years after April 25, ”he added.
