...second and more optimistic prospect is that Socialist Mario Soares could form a working alliance with Ernesto Melo Antunes, Foreign Minister in the outgoing government, and other sophisticated moderate officers in the M.F.A. In light of recent political events, this scenario is barely credible, but it envisions Scares and the moderates convincing a majority of uncommitted officers in the M.F.A. that they must, for the nation's sake, respect the political feelings of the majority of Portuguese. To do this, Soares would have to define and present a realistic economic and social program and have the courage to mobilize...
...deputy, Paolo Baffi, 64, a retiring monetary expert whose views are not known to differ from Carli's.
