April 25: Heritage of Freedom and the Commitment to Peace
In every corner of Portugal, the silent echo of courageous stories resonates on this emblematic day. Today, as we celebrate April 25—the revolution that dismantled decades of repression and ushered in an era of freedom—we reaffirm our commitment to preserving these memories and passing the lessons of the struggle on to new generations. Relaying these accounts to our grandchildren is both a tribute to the past and a way to ensure that the flame of citizenship and critical awareness remains alight.
The narratives of those who boldly confronted the dictatorial regime are invaluable legacies that light the way toward democracy. In classrooms, family gatherings, and museums, each story forms a bridge between the sacrifices of the past and the challenges of the present, teaching us that freedom is a hard-won treasure whose preservation demands constant vigilance.
In a world where peace continues to be threatened by conflict, the lessons of April 25 acquire even greater meaning. Just as the Portuguese people united to break the chains of oppression, today we are called to strengthen a global union against the violence that devastates so many lives. In the current context, the war in Ukraine painfully reminds us that freedom and peace cannot be taken for granted.
On the streets of Ukraine, the war continues to claim lives and shatter dreams. Every new tragedy, every fragmented home, is a stark call for urgent international mobilization. The resilience of the Ukrainian people, amidst such adversity, calls on the global community to unite diplomatic and humanitarian efforts capable of establishing a definitive ceasefire. It is imperative to transform the cry for justice into concrete actions that safeguard the dignity and hope of every individual.
The legacy of April 25 inspires us to cherish the memory of past struggles so that we may actively contribute today to building a fairer and more peaceful future. By lovingly passing on stories of courage to our grandchildren, we reaffirm not only our national identity but also our universal commitment to combat violence and conflict. May this day serve as a reminder that, wherever oppression rears its head—as in the devastating war in Ukraine—collective efforts must be undertaken to definitively end violence and preserve human dignity for future generations.
