Thieu now concedes that elections could be held before they are scheduled under the constitution (1971) and that the N.L.F. could take part. The more immediate problem...
...which would have further reduced Barreiros' share of ownership. That, most likely, was what prompted Barreiros and his brothers to resign, though they still retain about 22% of the stock. Without them, Chrysler may find the going harder in a land where personal contacts and government good will mean much in business. The Barreiros case will probably scare off other proud Spanish businessmen from making big deals with the cool and wealthy Americans...
