A presente tese de Doutoramento em Ilhas Atlânticas: História,
Património e Quadro Jurídico Institucional, analisa a “Revolução dos Cravos” na
Madeira, nomeadamente as tensões sociais e políticas, registadas entre o “25
de Abril de 1974” e o “25 de Novembro de 1975”, interpretado como o período
mais intenso da implementação da democracia em Portugal, após o derrube do
“Estado Novo”.
São abordadas as causas, as movimentações e as consequências do
“25 de Abril” neste arquipélago, perpassando diversas áreas da realidade insular,
designadamente a situação nas vésperas da Revolução, a vivência nos
primeiros dias da liberdade e as alterações ocorridas nos sectores primário,
secundário e terciário.
Outrossim, analisámos o papel das associações, movimentos e partidos
políticos, as mudanças verificadas nas instituições político-administrativas,
assim como os pólos simultâneos e conflituantes da autonomia e do
separatismo.
O estudo abrange, ainda, a acção da Igreja Católica e da comunicação
social madeirenses, a par da compreensão da consciência política da sua
população e do impacto do “25 de Abril”, na Madeira e no Porto Santo.
Tendo como fonte histórica preferencial a imprensa madeirense, pelo
valor científico do seu acervo, enquanto expressão da realidade desta época
revolucionária, esta investigação permite-nos concluir que a “Revolução dos
Cravos” teve uma influência decisiva na transformação socioeconómica e
político-cultural da Madeira.
This present PhD thesis on Atlantic Islands: History, Heritage and Institutional Legal Frame analyses the "Revolution of the Carnations" in Madeira, specifically the social and political tensions, which occurred between “25 April 1974” and “25 November 1975", interpreted as the most intense period of the implementation of democracy in Portugal, after the "New State" overthrow. The “25 April” in Madeira, its causes, movements and consequences, crossing different areas of the island reality are considered, with special attention to the time leading up to the revolution, life in the first days of freedom and the changes in primary, secondary and tertiary sectors. Furthermore, the role of associations, movements and political parties, and the changes occurred in political-administrative institutions, as well as the simultaneous and competing forces for both autonomy and separatism, are also analysed. The study also addresses the role of the Madeiran Catholic Church and the media, along with the political awareness and understanding of the local population and the impact of the “25 April” on Madeira and Porto Santo. The main historical source for this study was the local press due to the scientific value of its coverage as it spanned the effective period of the revolution. Therefore, we may conclude that the” Carnation Revolution” was definitely decisive in the socio-economic and political-cultural transformation in Madeira.
