The National Salvation Junta (Portuguese: Junta de Salvação Nacional [ˈʒũtɐ ðɨ salvɐˈsɐ̃w nɐsiuˈnal]) was a group of military officers designated to maintain the government of Portugal in April 1974 after the Carnation Revolution had overthrown the Estado Novo dictatorial regime. This junta assumed power on the same day of the revolution. The National Salvation Junta was the de jure governing body of Portugal following the Carnation Revolution. It was replaced by the Revolutionary Council on March 14, 1975 following the coup attempt by president Spínola on March 11.
