Carlos Alfredo de Brito (born 1933 ) is a Portuguese politician. He joined the illegal Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) during the fascist New State regime ( 1932 - 1974 ), by whom he was imprisoned. In the Presidential Election of 1980 , he was the Communist Party candidate, but withdrew shortly before the elections in support of the incumbent President, General António Ramalho Eanes , who was facing a stiff challenge from the right-wing António Soares Carneiro . He served in the Assembly Of The Republic until 1991 . He later became a reform member of the PCP, and was suspended due to his criticism. He supported Manuel Alegre , the independent Socialist candidate, in the Presidential Elections of 2006 . |
