Isabel do Carmo. The revolutionary doctor who carried bombs in the trunk of her car | Clandestine Podcast

The fake names, the fear that the doorbell would ring, the love that survives at a distance and how it crossed the border with a bomb hidden in the trunk of the car. Isabel do Carmo. A life full of stories. If today, at 83 years old, she is known for her work as an endocrinologist, looking back, her story intersects with the Carnation Revolution.

A militant for as long as he can remember, he founded the Revolutionary Brigades, prepared attacks on military bases and robberies of Estado Novo banks. Sooner or later, the paths began to narrow: In order to avoid being arrested, in 1972 she went underground. In conversation with PÚBLICO, she recalls the days when she was forced to be away from her daughter, the militancy that began with a war against the priest, and how she heard her name again, her real name, on April 25th 1974.
