The First Meeting of the New Portuguese Ministry: A Pivotal Moment in Portuguese Politics in the Early 20th Century (Photograph of the first meeting of the new Portuguese Ministry. With description, The First Meeting of the New Portuguese Ministry; On the extreme left is Dr Alfonso Costa, next to him is H Jose Almeida, and Dr Braga is seated near the centre) This historic photograph captures the first meeting of the new Portuguese Ministry in 1910, marking a significant turning point in Portuguese politics during the early 20th century. The image, taken from The Bystander Abroad section, showcases key political figures of the time. On the extreme left of the photograph stands Dr Alfonso Costa, a prominent Portuguese politician and lawyer who played a crucial role in the establishment of the First Republic of Portugal in 1910. Costa's progressive ideas and commitment to democratic reforms paved the way for a new era in Portuguese politics. Next to Dr Costa is H Jose Almeida, another influential figure in the new government. Almeida served as the Minister of Finance and later became the Prime Minister of Portugal in 1914. His expertise in economics and finance helped stabilize the Portuguese economy during a period of political instability. Seated near the centre of the photograph is Dr João de Freitas Braga, a renowned Portuguese philosopher and politician. Braga was a leading figure in the Republican movement and played a significant role in drafting the Portuguese Constitution of 1911. His intellectual contributions to Portuguese politics and philosophy continue to be celebrated to this day. This photograph offers a glimpse into the political landscape of Portugal during the early 1910s, a time of great change and upheaval in European politics. The First Meeting of the New Portuguese Ministry represents the beginning of a new chapter in Portuguese history, as the country transitioned from a monarchy to a republic and embraced democratic reforms.
