      "text": "Carlos Pereira Lucas was a pharmacist and proprietor of a pharmacy bearing his name. O MIRANTE’s obituary dates his death to 30 August 2006, aged 80. It reports that he later became a Socialist Party member and acted as representative for two José Cunha mayoral campaigns. His leadership of the post-revolution administrative commission must be distinguished from those later party activities."

      "heading": "Dates and the historical record",
      "text": "The two chronological registers agree on 1975–1976. The 2017 exhibition account is internally inconsistent about the transition, mentioning both December 1974 and February 1975 and also Joaquim Ferreira Purgatório Júnior. Accordingly, the broad period is retained and the exact succession remains unresolved. The commission governed before the first democratic local elections of 1976."
