withdraws its support to the candidacy of Arlete Vieira da Silva, hoping that our comrades of the PRT will take the same position. Since we have not completely clarified the causes and motives that determined the behavior of Arlete da Silva, the LCI will continue to carefully study all the political implications of this situation. In assuming the only serious revolutionary attitude before all the workers and all the comrades who supported us in the process of presenting the candidate, the LCI is conscious of the slanderous use the bourgeoisie and the reactionary forces will attempt to make of these events. We reaffirm that the full truth will be told to the workers and that we will not permit the bourgeoisie to make use of this fact to attack the workers forces, divide the toilers, and isolate the revolutionaries. Finally, the LCI calls the attention of all the workers to the danger of the election of Ramalho Eanes, the president that the bourgeoisie wants to impose on the workers movement, proclaiming his victory even before the vote has taken place. A victory for Ramalho Eanes could result only from the division and lack of decision of the workers parties. We call upon all the workers organizations to assume their responsibilities in the battle to defeat the bourgeois candidates, a battle that we have already begun and will continue. C
