The Portuguese military played a major role in overthrowing the fascist dictatorship in 1974 during the Carnation Revolution. Hopefully enough people remember and can repeat the process.
2. I didn't know that. But with so many millions across Europe opposed to these terrible
policies, and since they have failed so spectacularly, it's almost inevitable that the people will revolt sooner or later. People are dying as a result of the Greed and the oppressive policies forcing them to pay for the corruption of the banks. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.
But good to see the military there getting involved. That ought to worry a few of those pushing these policies.
