With Portugal´s debt, it cannot embark on facilitators strategies - Luis Amado, ex-socialist minister

Luis Amado, criticized the socialist government 

and says he does not subscribe the end of austerity 

The former Socialist foreign minister says the country 

can not be held hostage 

by the increase in consumption stimulus, 

in case Portugal intends to comply 

with its international agreements.

The former socialist minister says he does not endorse 

"the formula of the end of austerity" 

and that a country "with a debt" as that of Portugal "

can not embark on any facilitators visions." 

A critisism of the Socialist government´s policy.

"Portugal, with the international debt that it has, 

can not embark on very facilitative views," said the former minister 

in the "Capital Talk" show of Antena 1, 

criticizing the position adopted by Mário Centeno, 

current Minister of Finance. 

"We have to assess to what extent the future economic policy 

will be effective," he added further.

The former Foreign Minister of Socrates´government, 

said in early November that he had a preference 

for a Central block Government 

and now fears that the country 

will "become hostage to rising consumption stimulus 

which will create other problems."

Legitimate fear of a Socialist, 

who knows the reality of the country´s economy

and also the enormous thirst of power 
at any and all cost of his fellow minister, António Costa, 
the present unelected PM, 

who governs with a radical marxist-leninist coalition, 

which was NOT submitted to the popular vote at any election.
