Portugal Dispatch: Government Walks Out Over Military Crisis
Portugal's sixth socialist cabinet since 1974 suspended itself amid clashes with the military over security and authority. The government accused President Costa Góis and the armed forces of failing to provide order and threatened not to return until conditions are restored. Labor unions and neighborhood groups urged workers to strike and march on the presidential palace for a Soviet style government. Workers at Lisnave shipyards planned meetings to decide action as similar assemblies formed in other plants. A communique said the cabinet would resume only when the president guarantees conditions to exercise authority nationwide. The crisis follows weeks of paralysis and anti-government unrest after a siege on the presidential palace last week.
