This article aims to revisit the 1970s Portuguese academic strike while integrating it in the decline of the Constitutional Monarchy scenery in the promising atmosphere of the new republican order. Firstly, this article considers the origin, development and the consequences of that student strike. Then, we have studied some of the parliament speeches that such historical moment has forced to emerge at the portuguese parliament. We stress and focus in António José de Almeidas eloquent discourses for he was one of the great republicans of his epoch.
