Álvaro Barreirinhas Cunhal, born on November 10th, 1913, in Coimbra – Portugal, member of the Portuguese Comunist Party (PCP) since 1931 and its undeniable historical leader, died yesterday, June 13th, 2005.
A man’s beliefs or ideals should be no reason to make you closing your ears and eyes and not listen or see his thoughts and actions mainly if they became live on behalf of a nation or even, if it only were, of a group of men.
Consistently, I say “Thank you Mr. Cunhal” for making part of Portugal’s History as a distinguished character. May you rest in peace…
