In 1982 the commemorations of the 1st of May holiday were dramatic in Porto. Both main Portuguese unions disputed the center of the city for their rallies and the police intervened.

There was violence and in the chaos two of the demonstrators died. One of them, Mário Emilio Pereira Gonçalves, was apparently shot down by a police officer in this corner.
