Floriano, I fail to understand your logic. Or is there something I'm missing?
A murder was committed in Moira. The murderer was promptly sentenced to jail. Come December 1961 (and the end of Portuguese rule) and the accused gets off and leaves jail. Ergo, all freedom fighters are bogus? Is this a logical argument? Well, there are dishonest politicians and dishonest journalists. But this doesn't mean all of these two categories are questionable. We can question the politics of some freedom fighters. We can question what they did or didn't do after the end of Portuguese rule. We can also raise issues about how they got incorporated as part of the state largess system post-1961. But to question the bonafides of all is just the lazy way out. I think some of us can't overcome the hangover of suffering a perceived loss of power and clout after the demise of the Portuguese regime. And any stick is good enough.
