The "easy" way - the socialist way

For months on end, the Socialist Party 

has promised a "new easy way out" 

 of the enormously intense and painful crisis which Portugal suffers. 

Without being clear on ANYTHING, 

António José Seguro presents vague promises 

and stubborn denials of the socialists part in the debacle

and consistently refuse any kind of consensus 

with the government's austerity measures.

Acting like a victorious PM, 

António José Seguro, 

makes official communications to the nation, 

like a Churchill or Obama 

or any other elected PM or president would do.

Speaking in the name of the Portuguese nation 

(please, NOT IN MY NAME), 

he makes an utter fool of himself 

and becomes tragically laughable, 

as he assumes as a given fact, 
the role of the future saviour of the country, 

forgetting conviniently that it was the Socialist governance 

which plunged the country into misery 

and first he HAS TO BE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED

before he could ever assume such a position.

Seguro's megalomanic ambitions has made him blind to all logic, ignoring the cruel reality.

Shouting against austerity measures implemented by the government, 

and demanding an absolute immediate end to austerity,

is utterly foolish and flagrantly dishonest.

The government may have made some errors, 

but the opposition is lying through their teeth in claiming 

there's a different and easy way.

When there is a cancer to be treated, 

the chemotherapy is extremely painful and time consuming,

but there is NO ALTERNATIVE!!

The evil "cancer" is worsening due to the accumulation of the country's debt 

and there is an urgent need to reduce the extrenal debt, 

for the good of portuguese families and businesses.

According the João César das Neves, a university professor:

"Those who are angry with the notorious austerity 

can only ignore the reality of the country's situation," he believes,

 adding that 

"The easy ways, which are recommended 

will only generate more, not less, suffering. 

To repudiate or renegotiate the debt, 
or by leaving the euro zone, 

or rejecting the troika's recommendations and rules, 

are pathways that lead to isolation and alienation from international markets 

and that would tear us apart, 

moving Portugal away from stability and development. "

The commentator said that Portugal needs to rebalance its accounts 

and to "comply" with the consolidation program 

"and eventually Portugal will come out of the crisis 

stronger and more resilient."

THERE ARE NO EASY WAYS!
