commentary: communist party chief alvaro cunhal set the tone for the communist electoral campaign on friday (5 march '76) by telling a crowd of 20,000 in lisbon's main bull ring that a victory by centralist parties would lead to a new right-wing dictatorship.
he said that his party's supporters must make an enormous effort to ensure that every voter realises that an eventual majority for the social democratic party and the popular democratic party would mean a new dictatorship for portugal.
