António Joaquim GranjoOA (27 December 1881 – 19 October 1921; Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐ̃ˈtɔniu ˈɡɾɐ̃ʒu]) was a Portuguese lawyer and politician who served twice as prime minister during 1920 and 1921, until his assassination.
Granjo was born in Chaves.Already a committed republican from his youth, well before the 1910 overthrow of the monarchy, he became a member of the National Constituent Assembly, elected on 28 May 1911. He gave up his constituency in order to join the army; during Portuguese participation inWorld War I, he saw combat himself, and upon returning home he wrote a book about his battle experiences.
During the infamous "Bloody Night" in Lisbon, on 19 October 1921, Granjo was assassinated. The political affiliation of his murderers' instigators is still a matter of dispute. That same night, two other prominent republicans of moderately right-wing sympathies, António Machado Santos (widely known as the founder of the republic) and José Carlos da Maia, also died.
