- Title: PORTUGAL: TITLE MISSING
- Date: 25th April 1976
- Summary: DR. SOARES SAYING THAT THE SOCIALISTS LEFT THE FOURTH GOVERNMENT AFTER THE +PORTUGUESE SOCIALIST PARTY AND THEIR MILITARY CLIQUE+ WERE TRYING TO TAKE ABSOLUTE POWER AND USING THE SOCIALISTS AS +HOSTAGES+. HIS PARTY DID NOT WANT A +PROLETARIAN OR COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP+ THE POPULAR DEMOCRAT.S WERE +MORE RIGHT AND MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN THE SOCIAL DEMOCRATS+... AND THEN THERE WAS +THE RIGHT OF CONSPIRACY+ WITH MILITARY LEADERS SUCH AS GENERAL SPINOLA AND OTHERS WORKING FROM OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY... +BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THEY CAN HAVE TOO MUCH EFFECT ON PORTUGAL'S INTERNAL PLANS+ BECAUSE THE MILITARY WITH GENERALS LIKE MAGALLHAES +ARE DEMOCRATIC AND SINCERE MEN+ AND SO +I BELIEVE THAT IT IS DIFFICULT BUT POSSIBLE FOR US TO CONSOLIDATE PORTUGUESE DEMOCRACY+ DR. SOARES ADDED THAT HE HOPED THAT MANY NATIONALIZED AND STATE-INTERVENED BUSINESS WOULD SOON RETURN TO THEIR OLD OWNERS. LARGE ENTERPRISES NOW NATIONALIZED WILL CONTINUE+ BUT THE PRIVATE SECTOR WILL BE ENCOURAGED+. Initials Script is copyright Reuters Limited. All rights reserved
