Summary:The struggle for power has brought a state of almost total political confusion during 1975. The coalition government witnessed a marked upsurge in Communist Party strength which the Conservative catholic north was attempting to counter. Colonel Vasco Goncalves, who had refused to reconstruct his Cabinet after the Socialist Party gained massive support in free elections in April, became more obviously pro-communist and was replaced by the non-party Admiral Azevedo.
