Apesar do jornalixo português continuar a lamber as "bolas" a Costa, a insuspeita Bloomberg ....

A Bloomberg publicou um artigo sobre a degradação da situação portuguesa. Eis alguns destaques:

"just when Portugal thought things couldn’t look any worse for its bond market, they did"

"While Greece won a new chunk of aid last month and a promise to look again at potential debt relief in the future, Portugal is going backward, at least in the eyes of some investors. Prime Minister Antonio Costa increased public sector wages and is reducing the working week as he reverses some measures introduced during the bailout program Portugal exited in 2014. Like Greece, Portugal still has bad loans at its banks to address."

"Changes to the reforms done by the previous government has led investors to have a perception of increased risk,” said Diogo Teixeira, chief executive officer of Optimize Investment Partners, a Lisbon-based firm that manages about 120 million euros ($134 million). “An improvement isn’t foreseen in the short term. If more risk factors appear, it’s not the ECB’s QE that will stop an increase in Portugal’s yields”. 

Infelizmente, já passamos por uma situação semelhante há bem pouco tempo. Enquanto os jornaleiros fazem amen à propaganda socialista (agora com o importante reforço dos marxistas-leninistas do PCP e da extrema-esquerda do Bloco de Esquerda), a situação do país degrada-se. No final, e se correr mal, já sabemos que a culpa nunca será deles e deitarão a culpa para cima de terceiros. Foi assim com José Sócrates (que foi aplaudido de pé no congresso do PS e que poucos jornaleiros referiram) e será assim agora, caso não haja inversão. Depois queixem-se. [Nuno Gouveia aqui]
