He studied at Pedro Nunes secondary school, and in 1961, he joined the school's Portuguese Communist Party organization, a party for which he was later a militant. He entered University of Lisbon's Faculty of Law where he remained an active militant. He was arrested in the repressive wave of January, 1965, while he was directing the student association of his Faculty. The Estado Novo arrested dozens of activists from the main board of student resistance. He was tried and convicted in 1965. He served one year and three months at a correctional facility. As he left this facility he dedicated himself to supporting activities for arrested politicians. The events of May 1968, and the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, in August of the same year, led him to opt for the abandonment of the Communist Party. He participated in Portugal's first public protest against the Vietnam War, supported by sectors that were linked to the Students' Democratic Left-Wing, organization which he helped found in late 1968. It was as a politician responsible for this party that he organized the 1969 protests in Lisbon. He also participated in the second protest (this time centred on Coimbra). In August 1971, he was arrested for the second time and taken to the headquarters of the PIDE political police. He was submitted to sleep torture for several days and then the regime's courts convicted him to 14 months at a correctional facility. Upon his release, he returned to anti-fascist activism. In March 1973, he actively supported the campaign for the accusation of the murder of African nationalist politician Amílcar Cabral. After a renewed attempt by the PIDE to imprison him, he escaped and went "underground" until the Carnation Revolution on 25 April 1974. Up to 1979 he was editor of the Luta Popular newspaper ("People's struggle" in English). He represented this organization both times Ramalho Eanes ran for the presidency. In 1981, Fernando Rosas returned to University and began dedicating himself to journalism as a profession. He coordinated the history page of Diário de Notícias and its cultural supplement. His collaboration with DN continued until 1992, a time when he integrated the fortnightly column of the pages of Público, another newspaper. In 1986 he finished a Master's Degree in Contemporary History (19th and 20th century). He was invited to be assistant professor by the Faculty for Human and Social Sciences of Universidade Nova de Lisboa. In 1990 he got his Ph.D. and is today the president of the Instituto de História Contemporânea (Portugal's contemporary history institute), historical consultant for the Mário Soares Foundation and the editor of História magazine. In 1996, he belonged to the Political Committee for the presidential candidature of Jorge Sampaio. In 1999, he helped found the Left Bloc political party, whose Permanent Commission he leads. In 2001 he ran for President of the Republic, supported by the Left Bloc, and had got 3% of the valid votes. In 2006 he was made a Commander of the Order of Liberty, by President Jorge Sampaio. Rosas was a deputy for Lisbon in the Assembly of the Republic from 1999 to 2002 and for Setubal since 2005.[1] Electoral results[edit] 2001 Portuguese presidential election[edit] e • d Summary of the 14 January 2001 Portuguese presidential election results Candidates Supporting parties First round Votes % Jorge Sampaio Socialist Party 2,401,015 55.55 Ferreira do Amaral Social Democratic Party, People's Party 1,498,948 34.68 António Abreu Portuguese Communist Party, Ecologist Party "The Greens" 223,196 5.16 Fernando Rosas Left Bloc 129,840 3.00 António Garcia Pereira Portuguese Workers' Communist Party 68,900 1.59 Total valid 4,321,899 100.00 Blank ballots 82,391 1.85 Invalid ballots 45,510 1.02 Total 4,449,800 Registered voters/turnout 8,950,905 49.71 Source: Comissão Nacional de Eleições Vote share 1st Round Jorge Sampaio   55.55% Ferreira do Amaral   34.68% António Simões de Abreu   5.16% Fernando Rosas   3.00% António Garcia Pereira   1.59% Blank/Invalid   2.87% Selected works[edit] Wikimedia Commons has media related to Fernando Rosas.
