José Ramos-Horta resigned from Fretilin in 1988 due to disagreements with the party's leadership over its increasingly authoritarian tendencies and its handling of the Indonesian occupation of East Timor. He believed that Fretilin's approach was too confrontational and advocated for a more diplomatic and internationally oriented strategy to achieve independence for East Timor.
