- Abstract
The Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) had a central role in the Portuguese revolutionary process which began on April 25, 1974 with a coup led by the Captains' Movement / MFA. In this investigation we analyze the politics of PCP over the course of the revolutionary process, particularly in relation to the labour movement, enhancing the party's participation in major social conflicts, in strikes, in the factories and companies, in the process of nationalization and in the struggle for agrarian reform. For its relevance to the history of revolution and the democratic period that followed, we gave particular emphasis to the policy of the Communist Party in relation to dual power organisms (workers', neighbours' and soldiers' committees) and the construction of Intersindical as the nation's only central union. We also guided this research to focus on the politics of PCP towards the Socialist Party and the MFA during the revolution. We have particularly emphasized PCP's position towards the Provisional Governments, the organization of the Armed Forces and the MFA and also the dispute between PS and PCP for the organization of the state apparatus.
