Reds Seize Republica Newspaper in Lisbon Crisis
Communists seized control of the Socialist daily Republica in Lisbon amid a government coalition dispute. Socialists, led by Mario Soares, gathered outside in rain, barred by armed paratroopers as tensions rose with threats to withdraw from the cabinet. Army observers and printers clashed over control, while Soares urged stay-overnight protest and warned of potential violence. Inside, editors sought an end to the seizure under army supervision, but printers balked, deepening the crisis as military leaders debated civilian rule versus a hardline approach.
