Portuguese Socialist Government to blame for the economic and financial crisis - Swedish Finance Minister

Anders Borg, Swedish Finance Minister,

blame the current Portuguese government for the

financial and economic sitiuation in Portugal.

"The Portuguese government is greatly responsible

for the current situation in Portugal

and put their European partners in an even more difficult position

to decide on a bailout package at such short notice".

The portuguese government has been responsible

for an excessive foreign debt which has been

on a high level for a long time.

There has been many alarming signs

and the portuguese government was asked

to face up to the situation and take responsibility

for the debt earlier on.

If the portuguese government

had done their duty in early October 2010,

Portugal and Europe would have been

in a much better situation today!"

Borg also criticized the manner and timing

in which. the request for a bailout had been made.

The request was given to the EU Commission

on Thursday night, to be decided on Thursday.

Imposing a request for such an elevated amount

at such short notice,

is a too large requirement of other state members,

adding that there are many arguments

for critiscism in this case.

How long will Sócrates go on lying to the Portuguese??

NO ONE else is to blame but Socrates

and his Socialist government

for the current situation in Portugal.
