For MORE than 5 years the portuguese heard on a daily basis
how Prime Minister Pedro Passo Coelho and his PSD/CDS coalition government
was destroying the country's social system: the Health Department
The Public School etc.
1) The Communist Party declared in 2014:
This is an unprecedented attack on the NHS.
However much the government tries to manipulate reality,
the essential truth is that most of the decisions it has taken
are part of the goal of creating a two-speed health system in Portugal:
a devalued public service, centered on a minimum set of benefits guaranteed
and another, controlled by large capital,
supported by a network of health insurance and care by the private sector,
partly financed with public money, as has been happening with the Agreed Regime
where ADSE and other public subsystems are integrated.
What they seek to achieve with the plan under development
is very clear:
to destroy the NHS
as it is enshrined in the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic (CRP).
The Communist Party (PCP), will do everything possible
to prevent this further destruction,
thereby calling on all health professionals and the Portuguese in general,
to respond more aggressively, to this offensive against the NHS,
fighting in an articulated way in the defense of access to health care
and the instrument consecrated constitutionally
for its implementation, the National Health Service.
Reality of the facts has shown that
NOTHING was destroyed
except serious political debate.
2) The Socialist were very out-spoken and aggressive:
"António Arnaut said," the weaker the NHS, the stronger the private sector.
There is this subterranean war - which comes from a long time ago -
but has reached a dangerous dimension with this last government ".
He promised that he "would put an end to such injustice,"
There is this subterranean war - which comes from a long time ago -
but has reached a dangerous dimension with this last government ".
He promised that he "would put an end to such injustice,"
said the former Minister of Social Affairs,
the so-called "father" of the current NHS
the so-called "father" of the current NHS
(another LIE!).
The true and effective father of the HNS is, incidentally,
Baltasar Rebelo de Sousa,
Baltasar Rebelo de Sousa,
as the President of the Republic noted in his father's biography.
3) The Radical Bloco Esquerda - Francisco Louçã
"With its report, the government threatens and conditions,
seeking to create fear of unemployment,
to stop the protests, to reduce the protest,
to avoid the strikes that will begin on 12 October.
seeking to create fear of unemployment,
to stop the protests, to reduce the protest,
to avoid the strikes that will begin on 12 October.
The destruction of public services, in slow steps to weaken
the public social security system,
by increasing health costs for the families, all this
- is part of "the system" -
which aims to recover the profit levels of many companies,
guaranteeing them an Income paid by the State.
The Portuguese bourgeoisie is as greedy as it ever was,
it is as frightening as it has always been,
it is as much in favour of low wages and the refusal of social rights
as it has always learned to be for half a century of dictatorship.
Now reconverted to Europe and democracy,
it has found a "life insurance" in the appropriation of public services
and in the privatization of monopoly companies
providing water, gas and electricity, transport,
or as dominant in the finance and insurance sector.
That is the key reason for the attack on the public social security system,
with government's proposals to reduce pensions for the next generation
- insurers and banks want to have their pension funds discounted by the workers".
But REALITY can be eye-opening and cruel.
This was the week,
in which the socialist-marxist-radical Leninists-government, the geringonça,
entrusted the State Bank, the Caixa Geral de Depósitos
to the very man, whom they have constantly accused of,
having destroyed the National Health Service,
during more than four years.
Between 2011 and 2015,
according to the PS, the PCP and the BE,
Paulo Macedo has burned in a dangerous ideological hatred
against everything that belonged to the State.
But NOW they ofer him the presidency of the State Bank.
This was also the week
in which we could take stock of another work of destruction:
that of Nuno Crato in the Ministry of Education.
According to the oppositions of 2011-2015,
(the present radical communist-socialist marxist mixture)
Crato had dedicated himself to the ruthless destruction
of the "public school",
of the "public school",
with the aim of disqualifying the Portuguese.
If this was his goal,
how could one understand that at the end of Crato's term
Portuguese pupils had attained the highest levels of competence
in literacy and mathematics in Europe in the PISA Tests?
Likewise, how did the average life expectancy increase in Portugal
while Paulo Macedo demolished the NHS?
And no, these successes were not general:
in those same years, life expectancy declined in the US,
under the anti-austerity Obama,
and the results in mathematics fell in France,
under the no less anti-austere Hollande.
What a laughing stock these radicals made of themselves!
Luckily the common people have a good memory!!
The scandalous appropriation by the current leftists,
in relation to the Social State, as their exclusive ownership,
is one of the biggest scams of recent years.
The social state in Portugal was the work of various regimes,
of the Republic, which did little but had projects
even during the Salazar dictatorship,
which actually invented the term "Social State"
in the time of Marcelo Caetano.
What can really destroy the Social State in Portugal
is not neo-liberalism,
but stagnation, lack of reforms,
or bankruptcy, because of bad governance,
as with the socialist governance of José Sócrates.
The Socialist (PS) of António Costa,
took advantage by adopting the old communist routine,
took advantage by adopting the old communist routine,
since the VI Provisional Government of 1975,
of accusing the governments of "destroying" the Public Services.
It was this chorus that we heard from the opposition
(now the government)
during the emergency adjustment of international financial bail-out of the "troika".
It was not an exaggeration, it was a lie,
and it did not excite the electorate too much.
But it still served, after the elections,
to justify the parliamentary alliance
with which the defeated socialists assaulted the government power.
In fact, there is one thing that the present government
and its majority have already destroyed in Portugal:
the serious political debate.
They started off with a lie,
only with more lies can they continue in power.
The OECD's Pisa rankings compare the test results of 15-year-olds,
in countries and regional education systems.
The results, published in 2013, from tests taken in 2012,
showed the highest performers were in Asian countries.
In Reading, Portugal scoured 33rd out of 40.
In Mathematics, Portugal scoured 31st out of 40.
REAL DISMAL RESULTS!!!
NUNO CRATO, the "destroyer" of the National Educational System,
has just received INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION
for his efforts and that of thePSD/CDS coalition government
of Pedro Passo Coelho!!

The latest Average performance
The headline indicator for the three subject areas: science, mathematics and reading. Average performance refers to all 15-year-old students in a country/economy regardless of the school type and grade attended. Small differences between countries and over time may be statistically insignificant.
Science
Mathematics
Reading
Top-performing students in science can use abstract scientific ideas or concepts to explain unfamiliar and more complex phenomena and events. In mathematics, they are capable of advanced mathematical thinking and reasoning. In reading, top performers can retrieve information that requires the student to locate and organise several pieces of deeply embedded information from a text or graph.
