Ernesto Melo Antunes Vasco Lourenço Jaime Neves António Ramalho Eanes Mário SoaresThe Hot Summer of 1975 (Portuguese: Verão Quente de 1975) was a tumultuous period in Portuguese history characterized by political, social and military instability. At the center of the conflict was the rift between rightist and leftist groups, as well as the rift among leftist groups themselves.[1]
Although tensions can be said to have started after António de Spínola's resignation in the 30th of September of 1974, and ultimately culminated in the failed coup of 25 November 1975, most of the violence and tensions that gave the period its name lasted throughout the eponymous summer of 1975. Violence, including some of the most brutal continued into the next year and into the 70s and 80s.

No dia 8 de Junho, a Assembleia do MFA aprovava o projecto da Aliança Povo/MFA, mas três dias depois já o centro de trabalho do PCP em Fafe era atacado à granada. Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho (que chefiava a COPCON), em 14 de Junho, ainda fala em mandar os fascistas para o Campo Pequeno, mas dois dias depois, era assaltada a sede do MDP em A-ver-o-mar. No dia 19 de Junho, o MFA aprova um Plano de Acção Política, uma espécie de segundo programa do MFA, assumindo-se como movimento de libertação do povo português. O processo revolucionário em curso começava a estar ao rubro, dando-se em 3O de Junho a fuga de 88 agentes da PIDE/DGS, detidos em Alcoentre - in: Verão Quente, Politipédia.
