Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Pinto Balsemão also negotiated terms with the European Economic Community, now called the European Union, for Portugal's entry to the bloc in 1986.
50% : At that time, Western Europe and the U.S. still had a wary eye on Portugal, which after the coup had committed its future to NATO and the EEC but where more radical figures who wanted an alliance with the Soviet Union still had a mainstream voice.
