Los apuntes políticos de José Saramago: El Diário de Notícias entre abril y noviembre de 1975

This article focuses on the editorial notes written by José Saramago in the Diário de Notícias, of Lisbon, as Deputy Director, that is, from April to November 1975. And it reviews the 95 chronicles published in that medium with the purpose of ascribing to the leadership of Commander Vasco Gonçalves as Prime Minister of the MFA, to give a particular slant to the newspaper’s imprint, the socialist orientation that moved the revolution’s ammeter; and to defend fiercely the Constituent Convention whose elections had been called for in the month of April. On the other hand, the work also focuses on the variables that prevented the absolute realization of these objectives and the way in which the historical progression triggered the crisis of November 25, 1975, which put an end to the work of the Portuguese author in that media and expelled him from journalism.
