Marinha Grande challenges Barreiro as the Portuguese historic capital of working strikes. In January 18th 1934, a general strike failed everywhere, except in Marinha Grande, where the glass workers hold the control of town for many hours. The government sent the army that defeated the rebellion. Since then, the 18th January is a local holiday for glass manufacturers, with political demonstrations honoring the rebels against the dictatorship, near the allusive statue in central square.
