...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...

...after a 14-hour speech-filled meeting of the M.F.A.'s 240-man General Assembly. The scheme: to grant virtually unlimited powers to a triumvirate of generals, made up of President Francisco da Costa Gomes, Premier Gonçalves and Internal Security Forces Chief Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho, an ultraradical populist. The 30-man Revolutionary Council, the M.F.A.'s Politburo, presumably will yield almost all of the lawmaking authority it has enjoyed since assuming active rule of the country following the abortive right-wing coup last March. Under the new plan, the Council becomes a consultative body...

There is no doubt that the military is steadily assuming more and more power in Portugal and that the dominant faction is the one represented by radicals like Saraiva de Carvalho and Admiral Antonio Rosa Coutinho. Recently the admiral proposed that a new political party be organized from the ranks of all the leftist parties, including both the Communists and the Socialists-and the general said it would be even better to bar the parties' existing leaders from "getting in the way." As part of the process of establishing direct ties with the people, the military assembly discussed proposals...

This did little to pacify General Saraiva de Carvalho, who insisted that Soares' social democratic friends in the rest of Europe were simply a "cover for international capitalism," and that "the socialism we are constructing in Portugal could spread like wildfire." The appreciative Communists staged a massive street demonstration in support of the M.F.A. But at midweek, Saraiva de Carvalho's forces cracked down not on Soares' Socialists but on the Maoist M.R.P.P. (Movement for the Reorganization of the Party of the Proletariat). In Lisbon, Coimbra and other cities, the police arrested more than 350 members...
