	Portuguese legislative election, 1975 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Portuguese legislative election of 1975 took place on April 25, exactly one year after the Carnation Revolution and was the first free legislative election in fifty years, the first in the new democratic regime created after the revolution which made the turnout the highest ever.
		The election was, perhaps surprisingly, won by the Socialist Party.
		The Social Democratic Party was the second most voted party, defending a project that it would soon abandon, the social-democracy becoming the major right-wing party in the country a few years after.
