	Jorge Sampaio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jorge Sampaio was involved in the student contestation against the fascist regime and was leader of the Lisbon students union between 1960 and 1961.
		Sampaio made this decision to ensure political stability at a time when the country was facing economic recession, and he appointed Pedro Santana Lopes as Prime Minister.
		However, only four months afterwards, on November 30, Sampaio concluded that the new cabinet was not achieving the desired stability, quite the opposite, and he therefore dissolved the Parliament, calling new elections for February 2005.
