Fernando Gomes dos Santos

Life and public service

Fernando Gomes dos Santos appears in January 1974 official records as vice-president acting for the president. The historical register also identifies him as head of the administrative commission in 1974–1975, during the transition following the April Revolution.

What the documents establish

A notice signed on 19 January 1974 identifies Fernando Gomes dos Santos as acting vice-president. It announces a public tender for water-supply construction at Casal do Grilo, following a council decision of 10 January, with a base price of 995,000 escudos. This is firm evidence of his executive activity before the April Revolution; it is not evidence that the project had already been completed.

Legacy and public memory

The council minutes of 3 October 2005 record that the former president had died the previous week. The council agreed to recommend his name to the street-naming commission for a future street. This records a proposal for commemoration; it does not, by itself, establish that a street was subsequently named or provide an exact death date. No verified portrait has been established for this profile.
