 In 1905 the "Dissidência Progressista" (Progressive Dissidence) was formed by José Maria de Alpoim, who also split from the Progressive Party with six other deputies.The intense rivalry between the new parties, aggravated by personal animosities, was regularly critiqued by members of the nascent Republican Party.Despite King Carlos's intent to execute meaningful reform, the efforts were largely undermined by monarchist inefficiency, incompetence, factionalism and Republican propaganda.
