"Friendly fire" from the communists could instantly turn into enemy fire, causing the unstable "contraption" to blow into oblivion!

The faces of the unstable, unelected, unaligned "contraption" 

of a negative coalition "government" - socialist PM on the right 

with three radical communists factions on the left.

"The "contraption-government" is like the fair stand carts. 

They are made to take punching and crashing from all sides, without breaking up!" 

a long-standing member of the socialist party said. 

The political initiatives from the radical communists factions,

of the last few days, 

seem to prove him right.

First came the proposed nationalization of the Novo Banco 

from the Communist Party, 

and now it is the radical Bloco Esquerdo, 

who claims urgency in hearing the opinion of the Minister of Finance 

and the Governor of the Bank of Portugal, 

on the sale of good BES bank and

 ... again the Communist Party, submitted, at the last minute, 

a proposal for an increase of 10 euros for all pensioners, 

with pensions lower than 5549.34 euros, 

which would raise the deficit 

by 0.3 percentage points.

The "friendly fire" comes from the back-benches of the parties 

who are holding this unstable, unelected "contraption" of a Government together, 

however, the firing isn´t considered to be threatening. 

In the case of the proposed increases for pensioners, 

which will cost the State over 500 million euros per year extra, 

will almost certainly, 

not be approved in parliament.

The Novo Banco seems, moreover, 

a complicated dossier for the left-wingers, 

with the Communist party and the radical BE, aligned on the idea 

that the best deal for taxpayers is nationalization. 

These positions should not, however, 

destabalize the political structure, 

on which the contraption rests.

The friendly fire could, however instantly turn into 

ENEMY FIRE,

which will send the whole "contraption"

exploding into oblivion.
