Academic Crisis




The students, with a strong aid from the Portuguese Communist Party responded with demonstrations that culminated on March 24 with a huge student demonstration in Lisbon that was brutally suppressed by the shock police, which led to hundreds of student injuries. Immediately thereafter, the students began a strike that became a mark in the resistance against the regime. This happenings were called, ''Academic Crisis'' ( Portuguese : ''Crise Académica'').

After the Revolution of 1974, 24 March would become the National Day of the Students, being celebrated every year, mainly by university students.
