António Alva Rosa Coutinho António Alva Rosa Coutinho ( February 14 , 1926 – June 2 , 2010 ) was a Portuguese admiral , political activist , and participant in the Carnation Revolution . Biography . As an officer of the Portuguese navy , Rosa Coutinho spent most of his career on board — and occasionally , in command of — hydrographic surveying ships . During the 1960s , on patrol in the Zaire River , he was captured by guerrillas of the National Liberation Front of Angola and held captive for a few months . During the Carnation Revolution ( April 25 , 1974 ) he was one of the officers who made up the " Junta de Salvação Nacional " ( JSN ) , and was subsequently promoted from captain to vice - admiral . He was not a particularly significant figure in the first few months after the restoration of democracy , but he soon gained prominence as the official in charge of the dismantlement of the PIDE and the Portuguese Legion . At the end of July 1974 , after the resignation of the last Governor General of Angola , general Silvino Silvério Marques , Rosa Coutinho succeeded him as president of the Council of Governors of Angola . In September he was confirmed in this position by the National Defense Council , becoming High Commissioner of Angola . He would remain in this position until the signing of the Alvor Agreement ( January 1975 ) between the Portuguese and the three competing liberation movements — the FNLA , the MPLA , and UNITA . His actions in Angola tended to be seen as favorable towards the MPLA . Coutinho defended the territorial integrity of Angola against the Zaire - backed Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda , and openly distributed Portuguese arms and equipment to the MPLA . Rosa Coutinho ' s role in the Angolan independence process and his subsequent closeness to the Portuguese Communist Party earned him the nickname " the Red Admiral " ( in Portuguese " o almirante vermelho " ) . In the early part of 1975 he began to advocate the passage of " revolutionary laws " with the aim of radicalizing the political process that had been initiated by the Carnation Revolution . These aspirations came to fruition in March of that year , when he joined the newly formed Revolutionary Council . Notwithstanding his reputation as a radical , he remained loyal to the government during the attempted coup d ' état on November 25 , 1975 . Afterward , he was removed from the Revolutionary Council and relegated to the naval reserve . Though he no longer exerted much influence in politics , he remained involved in the Angolan solidarity movement and continued to campaign in support of Portuguese left - wing parties . He was born in Lisbon .
