«Paris não gosta da primavera portuguesa»? A França e a Revolução dos Cravos

In: Relações internacionais: R:I, Issue 81, p. 39-60

Abstract

France was one of the countries that followed with the greatest attention and concern the events that took place in Portugal between 25 April 1974 and the end of 1976.. In 1974, there were 800,000 Portuguese living in France and French investment in Portugal had increased significantly in the early 1970s. While the French government initially looked favourably on 25 April and the decolonisation process, after 11 March 1975 and especially during the hot summer, the French attitude changed significantly.. Valéry Giscard d'Estaing then advocated for the suspension of the financial aid that European institutions intended to grant to Portugal.
