October. After establishing contact with FLA, FLAMA's boldest attack took place on November 13. At the Santa Catarina airport, there were three planes, one of them a military one called Noratlas of the Portuguese Air Force. At the time, there were rumors that the military plane was supposed to carry a sum of money out of Madeira and to the mainland, and at 4:10, a bomb explodes under the plane's cockpit, which causes significant damage to the plane and a fire at the airport. No suspects were detained due to the lack of evidence. After a period of conversation and turmoil on the mainland, where elections had just taken place and Azores has plans of institutional autonomy, FLAMA was behind another attack which took place on 14 January 1976. This was followed by, on 19 February, the visit of José Baptista Pinheiro de Azevedo, Prime-Minister at the time, to start the talks with the local governmental authorities regarding the region's autonomy. On 20 February, following an explosion on a road in which the car of the Prime-Minister was passing, the documents granting a provisional government to the region of Madeira were signed. Although FLAMA's activities were more sparse, the organization was still active. In the following months, merchandise featuring FLAMA's flag was distributed along with a new currency named "zarco", which was supposed to act as Madeira's new currency. On 24 March, FLAMA decided to take on a political and organized approach, and so the Political Association of the Madeira Archipelago was founded. On 2 April, the Portuguese Constitution was approved in the Parliament, and in it, there were 10 articles which granted political and administrative autonomy to the Azores and Madeira. FLAMA's most complex operation of the time took place in June. Involving 25 people and a bomb weighing 12 kilograms of gelignite, the bomb was placed under a bridge in Água-de-Pena, whose target was the then Presidential candidate Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho. However, the bomb was defused when it was known that a bus of 20 children would be travelling with the commission travelling with the Presidential candidate at the time. Following several strikes at the beginning of 1977 due to the delays in the transfer of administrative powers to the regional governments and the visit of then President Ramalho Eanes, another bomb was placed on 26 August in the offices of the Portuguese National Airline, TAP.
