The party had been banned since the 1926 military coup that established a dictatorship in the country. The legalization marked a turning point in Portuguese politics, allowing the Communist Party to openly participate in the democratic process.
The party's legalization had a significant impact on the political landscape of Portugal, as it became a key player in the country's post-authoritarian democracy. The Communist Party's support for workers' rights and social justice resonated with many Portuguese citizens, leading to a surge in popularity.
With its new-found freedom, the Communist Party was able to campaign openly, participate in elections, and advocate for its socialist agenda. Its presence in the political arena challenged the traditional power structures and provided a voice for marginalized groups in society.
The legalization of the Communist Party of Portugal paved the way for a more pluralistic and inclusive political system in the country. It marked a victory for democracy and political freedom, setting the stage for a more vibrant and diverse political landscape in Portugal.
