Portugal Coup Attempt: The Crisis After the Carnation Revolution On this day, 11 March 1975, there was an attempted far right coup in Portugal, known as the March 11 Intentona. This happened in the context of the revolutionary period that Portugal which began with the fall of the right-wing dictatorship on 25 April 1974.  After the resignation of president António Spínola in September 1974, a left-wing government took power headed by prime minister and Communist Party-sympathiser, Vasco Gonçalves. Seeking to reverse the growing radicalisation of the revolution, Spínola led an attempted military coup, which failed due to the massive popular support of the MFA (movement of the armed forces — a movement of soldiers and junior officers that overthrew the dictatorship) and forced him to flee to Francisco Franco's dictatorship in Spain. In the cars of the Spinolist officers, massive amounts of money and cheques were found, signed by Espirito Santo (bankers of BES) and António Champalimaud, the richest man in Portugal at the time, with a fortune of around 9 billion euro (in 2020 equivalent), half of the Portuguese GDP in 1974.  This counterrevolutionary threat, financed by the Portuguese capitalist class and supported by the Spanish and Brazilian military dictatorships, further spurred the revolution. Workplace and land takeovers accelerated under the slogan "land to those who work on it" and compelled Vasco Gonçalves, in cooperation with unions and the workers, to order the nationalisation of almost 70% of the Portuguese economy, including the financial empires of the Espirito Santo and Champalimaud families, who fled to Brazil where they also possessed vast wealth. During the attempted coup one soldier died and 15 people were injured during the bombing of a military garrison near the Lisbon airport.  Learn more about the Portuguese revolution in our podcast episodes 41-42.

Weary of his #dreary
his desire to #pursue #calamity

left with but a #slice of sanity
when in close #proximity
brings no #attempt to #court
his reality falls short
gone from mild #agitate

If we #attempt
To view a #slice
Of life a long time ago
"In a galaxy far far away"
We find climate
And temperatures
On varying worlds
Had no dependence
With distance
To a sun

Kneel! You expect my hand to be #magnanimous, a failure of #retribution, an inaction against your slight? You expect this because you know you are lesser, pathetic, weak. I #attempt to elevate; to #slice away the fat of dereliction. Futile. Time to suffer.

... called a #fascist #takeover #attempt. I will do what's in my power to help avoid that. So I have switched mostly to political analysis & research. I see the directory at my pin finally got a lot of activity. I hope you're sharing the documents that you consider important with your electeds.

Attempt to impose non-Marathi mayor on Mumbai will trigger backlash: Shiv Sena(UBT) in Saamana Mumbai, Jan 2 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT) on Friday attacked the Mahayuti government, saying that BJP leader Kripashankar Singh’s assertion that the next Mayor of Mumbai will be from the North Indian/Hindi-speaking community is not an isolated comment but is the "official stance" of the party to dilute the Marathi identity of the city and is a direct attack on Maharashtra’s regional pride.
