Mário Lemos Pires

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mário Lemos Pires was the last Portuguese governor of Portuguese Timor.

After the departure of the Portuguese in 1975, Portuguese Timor became a political region of Indonesia from 1975 to 1999.

Pires served from November 18, 1974 to November 27, 1975, but the administration was forced onto Atauro Island for the last three months of Portuguese rule following the UDT coup in August.
