This has to change ...

The red carnation ...

... this symbol of the Portuguese Revolution (April 25th, 1974) is not presented here to call for a revolution, but it is displayed to honor the People of a Nation - PORTUGAL

Explaining:

I am Portuguese ...

I was proud to born as such...

Now I am honored to belong to this nation!

Last Saturday, many of us (I wasn't one) went to the streets and they gave a "lesson" to the world.

They manifested their discontent, their grief and their pain, with honor, with a civilized attitude, respecting the others, but still ... they have stated their opinion.

The amazing Sound of Silence and the Dignity of the Act was expressed tremendously throughout the singing of one song.

For me, the Manifest meant the following:

"We love our country, please don't destroy it.

We know the country had to change course, but

15 years of bad management cannot be emended in 3 years (2011-2014)

with the current world economy and under the present conditions of the program.

It's not possible and it's not working.

This has to change."

It is not possible to emend 30 years of accumulated budget deficit, 15 years of trade deficits, change the productive platform in the industry, reduce substantially the weigh of the state in the economy, among other bad work that has been done by the governance of the Nation. It is not possible to solve all of this in just 3 years, under the present conditions and with the present world economy.

The Red Rose

a symbol of love, respect and courage
