About This Design

Military vehicle symbol of 25 April Revolution Cushion

Military vehicle symbol of 25 April Revolution Cushion

April 25 is now celebrated as a national Portuguese holiday. It marks a bloodless military coup that was supported by the civilian population. It allowed democracy and civil liberties to the Portuguese people after almost five decades of dictatorship (1937-1974). The Carnation Revolution ended the Estado Novo regime, the longest dictatorship in Europe, changing the Portuguese political system from an authoritarian dictatorship to a democracy. If you take a look at the 25 April Revolution footage and photos you’ll see these vehicles on the streets of Lisbon with soldiers on top and then civilians. A “chaimite” is a light armoured personnel carrier vehicle. It was the first military vehicle produced in Portugal and performed during the Portuguese Colonial War. This Portuguese-designed combat vehicle was the first one produced in Portugal for the Portuguese armed forces in 1966. Captain Salgueiro Maia left Santarém in a chaimite for Lisbon, where he took over the ministries of Terreiro do Paço and the headquarters of the National Republican Guard, in Carmo. The «Bula» vehicle, in an operation also led by Salgueiro Maia, transported President Marcello Caetano, from the Carmo Barracks, where he surrendered to the Movement of Captains, before leaving for exile - a surrender that marked the fall of the Estado Novo. This military vehicle is a symbol of the Carnation Revolution. If you have a friend, co-worker, teacher, or a relative of Portuguese nationality, they will undoubtedly appreciate this illustration because everyone knows that a chaimite in Portugal stands for liberty.

I absolutely love this product. I turned out even better than I expected too. I bought this for my mother for Mother's Day and she really loves it, she shows it too everyone she can and they all love it as well and want to know where I bought it from. The design turned out perfect, the printing of the words is fantastic they were so clear and easy to read, the color was also nicer than I thought it would be plus the images are so clear to see. I myself can't seem to keep looking at it, it's just gorgeous I love it, it couldn't have turned out any better
