Portuguese term or phrase: que discordavam dele serem afastadas.
This is from an article by a Portuguese (Portugal) journalist.
The whole sentence reads, "Mas, pouco a pouco, foram-se apercebendo da influência de S. K no local, e foram vendo as pessoas que discordavam dele serem afastadas".
I just can't think of an elegant way of puttting this, although the language is simple.
