The Power of Voting
As Portugal marks 50 years since its first free elections, TSF invites 25 prominent figures to discuss the significance of voting. Among them is José Castro Carneiro, a key player in the Carnation Revolution in Porto, who emphasizes the importance of exercising the right to vote.
"I made the 25th of April with a gun in hand. You must use your vote as it should be; the weapon you have is that," Castro Carneiro passionately states.

The message is clear: voting is not just a right; it is a powerful tool for change. Castro's words resonate as a reminder of the struggles that paved the way for democracy in Portugal and the responsibility that comes with it.
The upcoming discussions will delve deeper into the role of the electorate in shaping the future of the nation and the ongoing challenges faced in maintaining a robust democratic process.
