Photographer Luiz Carvalho revisits Portugal's post-revolution years
When the revolution of 25 April 1974 swept through Portugal, Luiz Carvalho had no idea it would shape the course of his life. Then a 19-year-old architecture student with a passion for photography, he took to the streets of Lisbon with his Nikon F, capturing the unfolding scenes of a country in transformation. Those early images marked the beginning of a career that would span more than two decades, working for the weekly Expresso and as a correspondent for SIPA Press. Now, 50 years on, Carvalho revisits that turbulent chapter in Portugal's history - the period between the revolution and the failed coup of 25 November 1975, known as the Ongoing Revolutionary Process (PREC) - in a new book and exhibition titled 50DE25. On display at the Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes in Lisbon until 23 August, the exhibition features iconic photographs from the era alongside more recent portraits of key figures who shaped those historic events. When the exhibition opened, Luiz Carvalho spoke to Euronews Culture about some of his favourite photos: Luiz Carvalho: This photo summarises those days of great joy. It was taken on 1 May 1974. I was there to find details of what was happening. When I see this military lorry, with the soldiers at the back demonstrating with their rifles in the air, the kids doing the V for victory, the officer at the front in the van also doing the V for victory, this photograph is perfect for me from an aesthetic point of view. There's nothing too much or too little. Of course, there are other photos in this series, some vertical, but this is the one that, for me, represents the decisive moment of 25 April. LC: This is the arrival of the first troopship from Guinea-Bissau. I was always listening to the radio, which at the time was the favoured means of information. I was in my architectural office and I heard that the ship was arriving. I left at 4pm and went to the Rocha do Conde de Óbidos pier. It was incredible to see the people waiting for the soldiers and how they presented themselves: one was wearing a T-shirt of Amílcar Cabral (founder of the PAIGC, the independence movement of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde), in other words, of those he had been fighting against, and a belt with two pistols crossed on the buckle. LC: Others were carrying exotic animals, which was normal at the time. LC: A soldier lost, sad, among shadows, on 26 April (1974). It could have been on 25 November, like in that famous photograph by Alain Mingam of the paratroopers at Tancos crying. It's a photograph I really like and I'd rather not say it was taken on 26 April, because it's a photo that represents the end of the party. Or perhaps the beginning of the party, because the soldiers didn't really know what they were doing there. They adopted the attitude of defending the people, of always being on the side of the people, and that happened. It was one of the magical aspects of our revolution, so this photo has a very special meaning for me. LC: The person I photographed during this period who made the biggest impression on me was José Mário Branco, with whom I had a lot of contact and worked in the theatre. He was a person of incredible humanity, who thought for himself. He was a man of the left, in the sense that he defended values, but he wasn't a party man. He may have collaborated with some parties at one time or another, but he was independent. Very cultured, an extraordinary musician, he made a big impression on me as an actor and musician. This photograph was used for the cover of the album "Ser Solidário" (1982). José Mário Branco made a big impression on me, not because of his politics, but because of who he was.

Delhi govt likely to do away with need for health trade licence from MCD to open eateries
New Delhi, In a measure to boost the hospitality sector in the national capital, the Delhi government is likely to soon do away with the requirement of obtaining a health trade licence from the civic body for opening restaurants and eateries in the city. Lt Governor V K Saxena, speaking at the "Expresso" event hosted by The Indian Express on Friday, said the requirement of the license for opening restaurants in the city is being abolished. No immediate reaction from the Delhi government or the Municipal Corporation of Delhi ( MCD ) was available on the development. Recently, the Delhi government did away with the need to obtain ' Eating House Registration and Lodging Certificate' from the police by hotels, clubs, restaurants and guest houses for getting a license to serve liquor. The L-G, last month, withdrew the sanction granted to the Delhi Police Commissioner for the issuance of the eating house registration certificate under an ease-of-doing-business initiative. Speaking at the "Expresso" event, Saxena emphasised promoting ease of doing business and said the MCD licenses would not be required by the restaurants. Currently, obtaining a health trade license from the MCD to open restaurants in Delhi is a must. The process consumes several weeks of paperwork and follow-up activity, said a restaurateur . If this requirement is removed, now only fire safety permission will be required if anyone wants to open a restaurant in Delhi, he said. PTI

Tunisia's exports to Canadian market estimated at 300 million dinars
Mohsen Abidi, Vice President of the Tunisian-Canadian Business Network (RTCA), stated that Canada is home to over 40,000 Tunisians, in addition to thousands of Tunisian students enrolled in various Canadian universities. During his appearance on the Expresso show, Abidi emphasized the importance of leveraging this strong Tunisian presence in Canada, describing it as a strategic asset that could serve as a foundation for expanding into the promising Canadian market across multiple sectors. He added that the Tunisian diaspora plays a key role in investment, both in Canada and Tunisia, noting that the African continent holds a strategic position in Canada's vision. Thanks to its geographical location, Tunisia could act as a gateway to African markets. The RTCA Vice President explained that the network is working to strengthen the role of the Tunisian diaspora in boosting economic and investment relations between the two countries by actively participating in major economic and scientific events held in Canada. He highlighted the importance of the direct air route between Tunisia and Canada, calling it a strategic lever to increase Tunisian exports to the Canadian market, currently estimated at around 300 million dinars. This figure could easily be multiplied by five if cooperation were expanded to high-potential sectors like startups and alternative energy, rather than being limited to the agri-food industry.
