...last week, first by an outbreak of violence in the northern and central regions of the country, and then by an open split in the ruling Armed Forces Movement (M.F.A.). The split was so serious that it could easily lead to the resignation of the Communist-lining Premier, Vasco dos Santos Gonçalves, and the beginning of a more moderate national policy that the vast majority of the Portuguese people would wholeheartedly welcome. But it could also widen to the point of civil...
...moment, at least, Portugal's fate rests with the three generals who constitute the ruling Directory: President Francisco da Costa Gomes, Premier Vasco dos Santos Gonçalves and Internal Security Forces Commander Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho (see box page 26). Last week the Directory was installed by the Armed Forces Movement (M.F.A.), the revolution's founding group, and assumed powers previously wielded by the M.F.A.'s 30-man Revolutionary Council. There were immediate signs that the new triumvirate's opponents could expect tough treatment. Arriving back in Lisbon after a visit to Cuba, Saraiva...
...VASCO DOS SANTOS GONÇALVES, Premier, is the ideologue of Portugal's top leadership and probably its most intellectual figure. One of the chief architects of the revolution, Gonçalves, 54, is described by his supporters as "austere and scholarly," a man passionately committed to the cause of social justice in Portugal.

...Portugal-a week of riots, protests, rumors of coups and countercoups, and opaque behind-the-scenes deliberations by the country's confused and divided military rulers. The major problem facing the Armed Forces Movement (M.F.A.) was to set up a new government under leftist Premier General Vasco dos Santos Gonçalves. The previous Cabinet-the fourth since the April 25, 1974 revolution-collapsed this month when Socialists and other moderates resigned. Reason: they were protesting an M.F.A. plan to set up local revolutionary councils that would bypass the authority of the elected Constituent Assembly (TIME, July...
Last week's tension was heightened by uncertainty over the complexion and direction of the regime. The military dissolved the shaky coalition Cabinet when the last of the moderates walked out. At week's end General Vasco dos Santos Gonçalves, Portugal's Premier, was still trying to form a new Cabinet of military men and civilian technocrats. Meanwhile observers in Lisbon believed that a movement was mounting within the 30-man Revolutionary Council of the divided M.F.A. (Armed Forces Movement) to oust the strongly pro-Communist Gonçalves as Premier...
