The document mentioned in my article was not a letter. It was a declaration signed by the four democratically elected members of the Government Council. This declaration was approved unanimously by the Government Council in a session that took place on July 4, 1930, chaired by Governor Joao Carlos Craveiro Lopes. The document did not just reject the Acto Colonial. It asserted that we, Goans, do not give up our fundamental human right of self-determination. After he returned to Portugal, Governor Craveiro Lopes (father of future President of the Portuguese Republic Francisco Higinio Craveiro Lopes) publicly condemned the Acto Colonial, risking being disciplined by the military and sent to jail. (To my knowledge, this never happened.)
