April 25th? “I’m just sorry I didn’t have a machine back then”

April 25th?

On April 25, 1974, António Cotrim distributed news, when he was barred by the troops of Salgueiro Maia. At the request of passage came the response of the military service: today there is no news, the news is the Revolution. At 68, Cotrim is now Lusa's oldest employee, with a career recognized as photojournalist.
