I'm not very familiar with Portuguese history but my understanding is that authoritarianism in Portugal was ended by the carnation revolution, which was a military coup. I'm curious what this person means as well. You can't vote out authoritarianism, at best you get a dictator kind enough to decide to step down when asked.
