COUP D'ÉTAT IN PORTUGAL. Lisbon. The Portuguese armed forces overthrew Prime Minister Marcelo Caetano, after conquering his last refuge in an assault with tanks and cannons, ending his authoritarian rule in protest against the long and costly Portuguese wars in their African territories. The resistance of groups loyal to the Caetano government continued a few hours ago, although in isolation. Caetano, 67, handed over the government to General Antonio de Spínola, a military hero with liberal ideas who was recently removed from office by Caetano, for stating that Portugal could not guarantee security after 13 years against the guerrilla national liberation movements. . Caetano surrendered to the coup leaders at the national guard headquarters, where he had barricaded himself, 12 hours after the rebels sent a column of tanks to the center of Lisbon and announced that they controlled the situation throughout the country. The rebels announced a democratization program and promised free elections in this nation, the last great colonial power left in the world, ensuring that a military junta will rule the country until these elections are held. “The hour of freedom has arrived,” the rebels stated in proclamations broadcast on radio and television. There are still several pockets of resistance, in buildings where some members of the government took refuge. The population flooded the streets of Lisbon with red carnations that they placed in the muzzles of the army's rifles, achieving social change without blood or violence.
