Portugal's new president revives red carnation symbol in historic speech
Upon arriving at the Assembly of the Republic, António José Seguro made his stance on the importance of April 25th unmistakably clear: he wore a red carnation in his lapel—a gesture not seen from a President of the Republic in 20 years (Marcelo had simply held one in his hand). In his first address as President during the solemn April 25th session, he described the date as having "unquestionable value" and issued a powerful call to young people to speak out against attacks on rights and freedoms. Earlier, however, António José Seguro had addressed political parties, urging them to push for the reinstatement of public funding for party donations.
