Excerpt from “Proudly Alone”. Portugal in the eyes of the world at the end of the Estado Novo – Vida
Who benefited from these divisions? There is no doubt that Spínola likes his campaign and with his autonomy «Guinea for the selected» and with the insinuations that Portugal is preparing, but not to the marketable Guinea archipelago, allegedly in geostrategic proposals. However, from there to impute to him the moral authorship of the crime, goes a giant step, that nothing allows to take.
“This Is How I Read This”
“É Desta Que Leio Isto” is a reading group promoted by MadreMedia and Elisa Baltazar, co-founder of the writing project “The First Chapter”.
Launched in May 2020 created with the purpose of promoting reading and discussion around books. We have already leafed through the pages of books by authors such as Luís Sepúlveda, George Orwell, José Saramago, Dulce Maria Cardoso, Harper Lee, Valter Hugo Mãe, Gabriel García Marquez, Vladimir Nabokov, Afonso Reis Cabral, Philip Roth, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Jonathan Franzen, Isabel Lucas, Maria do Rosário Pedreira, Milan Kundera, Joan Didion, Eça de Queiroz and Patricia Highsmith, always with the presence of special invitations that help us to discuss, interpret, exchange and, above all, provide good conversations.
works in addition to meetings for reflection for literary women, the club with a Facebook groupwith more than 1300 participants, which aims to encourage the exchange of ideas around books, their authors and the writing and stories that we are passionate about.
It is also known that Sekou Touré had the best relations with Amílcar Cabral and is the reason for suspicion for some that the assassins address the president after committing the act.

This fact is not enough to implicate the commander by siguerrilla and the future president of Guinea-Bissau, but there are some indications that point in this direction. Since, suspicions have never been raised about the involvement of his cousin, Osvaldo Vieira, a mythical guerrilla commander who announced a disagreement with Cabral. Osvaldo Vieira was one of those who were later cleared of participation in the crime, but he did not get rid of the fame of having been one of its inspirers.6.
