said he believe that the Portuguese can have more 
confidence and hope for a better future!

The Portuguese Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho, said today that the country, 

ended a cycle of emergency, and will now have to show the "whole world" 

that Portugal does not need an external protection program 

to be able to govern itself.

"I think at this stage we have closed a cycle of emergency international assistance, 

we are now looking forward to be able to show the entire world 

that Portugal do not need an external supervision program to show us the rules, 

we know what's important and we know what we have to do in the future, 

"said Pedro Passos Coelho, at the inauguration of the Museum of Discovery in Porto.

He also added: "now is the time for all those who need encouragement, 

for all those who are still doubtful, just waiting to see whether or not 

 the time has come to believe more in our history, 

more in our country and more in our future."

At this time, the country needs "more enterprising people,

"who are not overcome by adversity, 

and we need to create new jobs to "reabsorb much of the unemployment 

that has been generated by the crisis over the years," the PM added.

The Portuguese prime minister said that Portugal 

still needs to attract more tourists to rediscover the "cosmopolitan spirit" 

which led the Portuguese to the four corners of the world.

"Believing in our history and in ourselves 

we can also have more confidence in the future," 

he concluded.
