The Lisbon City Council announced that a ceremony will take place in the noble hall of the City Hall at 5:30 PM, during which the Mayor, Carlos Moedas, will present the City’s Medal of Honor to Natércia Salgueiro Maia, widow of Salgueiro Maia. This honor is awarded posthumously to the “Captain of April, face of the revolution.”
A tribute to Salgueiro Maia was unanimously approved on December 18, 2024, following a proposal by Livre, as part of the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of April 25.
The council subsequently approved bestowing the Key of Honor of the City to the April captain, scheduling the ceremony for “the course of April 2025.”
