Red Legion (paintball Team)
The Red Legion was a Portuguese anarcho-syndicalist terrorist group linked to the General Confederation of Labour (CGT). History The group was created because of social conflicts in the workers' movement, which was at its height during the time of the First Portuguese Republic. It was not long before the conflicts between the workers with the authorities and bosses began to increase, as did the strength of the Red Legion. From December 1919 to May 1925, the Red Legion swept the country with a wave of bombing, gunfire and violence, mainly in Lisbon, against conservative government officials and prominent figures in industry. They were responsible for more than 200 attacks during its existence. It drew mostly from extremist elements within the Syndicalist Youth Federation. On 15 May 1925 the movement carried out the double shooting of the police commander, Colonel João Maria Ferreira do Amaral. The attempt failed and, in the repression that followed the 28 May 1926 coup d'état, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
28 May 1926 Coup D'état
The 28 May 1926 coup d'état, sometimes called 28 May Revolution or, during the period of the authoritarian Estado Novo ( en, New State), the National Revolution ( pt, Revolução Nacional), was a military coup of a nationalist origin, that put an end to the unstable Portuguese First Republic and initiated 48 years of authoritarian rule in Portugal. The regime that immediately resulted from the coup, the ''Ditadura Nacional'' (National Dictatorship), would be later refashioned into the ''Estado Novo'' (New State), which in turn would last until the Carnation Revolution in 1974. Background The chronic political instability and government's neglect of the army created opportunities for military plots. Historians have considered that the coup had wide support, including all political parties at the time except for the Democratic Party, Portuguese Communist Party, Socialist Party, the ''Seara Nova'' group, General Confederation of Labour, and the Democratic Leftwing Republican Par ...

Anarchism In Portugal
Anarchism in Portugal first appeared in the form of organized groups in the mid-1880s. It was present from the first steps of the workers' movement, revolutionary unionism and anarcho-syndicalism had a lasting influence on the General Confederation of Labour, founded in 1919. The 28 May 1926 coup d'état established a National Dictatorship that harshly repressed the workers' movement. The Estado Novo made any anarchist activity illegal, which forced the libertarian movement to clandestine action. In 1974, after the fall of the dictatorship in the Carnation Revolution, the Hot Summer of 1975 brought about a sense of "anarcho-populism", a residue of the spirit of May 1968. History From the 1850s, the thought and writings of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon considerably influenced the first workers' associations and writers. The Portuguese section of the International Workingmen's Association was formed in 1871. The doctor and writer Eduardo Maia, initially a socialist, turned toward ...
