About

In 1973, between April 4 and 8, the Third Congress of the Democratic Opposition took place in Aveiro. Intended to present united lists to the legislative elections that took place in October of that year, it unified different ideological and political currents, associated to a lively, participated and quite productive debate. Opposition members of different generations and tendencies collaborated in it, including military officers who, one year later, would take part in the Carnation Revolution. Half a century later, this initiative of the 50th Anniversary of the 25th of April Commemorative Committee intends to remember, contextualise and interpret this moment that contributed to the wearing down of the regime.
