Armed Struggle
Synopsis
Luta Armada (Armed Struggle) continues Hotel Europa's research into the recent past, analysing the political projects that used violent actions, such as bank robberies, bombings, sabotage, among others, as a form of struggle. This project takes, as its starting point, an extensive collection of testimonies from people who were active in these organisations, as well as research into documents about their actions, creating a multi-disciplinary documentary theatre show. This work begins by describing the actions of groups that saw armed fight as the only way to end fascism and Portuguese colonialism, such as LUAR, Brigadas Revolucionárias and ARA; secondly, the extreme right-wing groups that came to be known as the bomb network and were active during the PREC period between 1974 and 1975, such as the ELP, MDLP and the Maria da Fonte Movement, which allegedly fought against the threat of the establishment of a communist regime in the country, but also the independence movements in the Azores and Madeira, which opted for violent actions, such as the FLA and FLAMA; ending with the last group that began its activity from 1980 onwards, the FP-25, which fought to restore socialism.
