The Ongoing Revolutionary Process (Portuguese: Processo Revolucionário em Curso, PREC) was the period during the Portuguese transition to democracy starting after a failed right-wing coup d'état on 11 March 1975, and ended after a failed left-wing coup d'état on 25 November 1975. This far-left politics, labor movement-inspired period was marked by political turmoil, right-wing and left-wing violence,^[1][2][3] instability, the nationalization of companies, forcible occupation and expropriation of private lands as well as talent and capital flight.^[4][5]
