Good morning! It is time to get to know the themes that mark the front pages of national newspapers, this Thursday, April 25. The commemorations of the 50th anniversary of April 25, 1974 are the central theme in practically all the press, sharing stories and remembering the fall of the Estado Novo.

In other themes, we start with the weekly Expresso which reveals that "human trafficking soared in 2023 and worries the police".

The Diário de Notícias warns of a survey that shows a "grim portrait in the 50 years of April 25" - "Portuguese people dissatisfied with democracy and even more so with politicians". "Strike in the Justice system frees drug traffickers" is the headline of Correio da Manhã.

In the sports press, the newspaper O Jogo highlights the elections at FC Porto, which will take place on Saturday, while A Bola says that "The future starts now", with Rui Costa and Roger Schmidt face to face. Record, in turn, says that Marc Pubill is "in the sights" of Benfica.
