The assistant and territorial cohesion minister considers that the PS program “is the end of the right accounts, the funeral of the state’s budgetary balance”.
The PSD accused the PS on Sunday of presenting as an electoral program a “revenue for the disaster” with which it would return “the impoverishment that ended in bankruptcy”, saying that “Portugal would again have deficit and increase public debt”.
In a reaction at the PSD headquarters to the day before, Manuel Castro Almeida, assistant minister and territorial cohesion and PSD’s list of list by Portalegre, said that “desperation took over the PS”, accusing the socialists of “promising everything to everyone without doing anything.”
“If this program was ever applied to Portugal would return to the time of impoverishment that ended in bankruptcy. Pedro Nuno Santos would be the new José Sócrates. The PS entered the free wheel, came up its most immature side, less thoughtful,” he said.
Considering that this program “is the end of the right accounts, it is the funeral of the state’s budgetary balance”, Castro Almeida stated that “Portugal would again have a deficit and will increase public debt again.”
“It would no longer be able to increase the pensions and salaries of the civil service, would not have any chance of lowering the IRS, would no longer have one of the largest growth of Union Europe,” he said.
For the minister, “the PS program is a revenue for the disaster” and “if it was put into practice would shoot the country again for 2011”.
“Sure it was no coincidence that Fernando Medina was not present in this presentation,” he said.
