Guimarães - Portuguese Capital of Culture 2012 Scandal of millionaire salaries

Cristina Azevedo,

president of the Foundation of Culture

at the Guimarães Municipality,

is receiving 14,300 euros per month

as well as two other executives

in her commission,

receiving 12,500 euros each.

Socialist, António Magalhães,

the mayor of Guimarães,

justifies the complexity

of the project

in such a "short time."

8 million euros

are set aside for salaries

for this event.

In times of extreme crisis,

with Portugal on the brink

of bankrupcy,

and in an area

where there is a 15%

of unemployment,

this irresponsible socialist

public spending, is

TOTALLY

UNEXCEPTABLE.
