The Portuguese government, which withdrew a few days ago a general lowering of wages by the massive social response is determined to raise nearly as 4,000 million euros that would enter discarded that idea to clamp the deficit. So, will raise the income tax across the board for 2013. "It's the same theft by different way", summarizes the general secretary of the Portuguese Communist Party, Jerónimo de Sousa. The Finance Minister Vitor Gaspar the punctilious, announced Wednesday the battery of measures that, in practice, replace the controversial reduction of salaries. The Government, on the one hand, the steps of the tax cut from eight to five in order to raise more, and establish a spread of 4%. In short: on average, the rate will increase from 9.8% to 13.2%. According to several Portuguese media, who were quick to make and account numbers along with the entire country, this will mean that the tax bill will increase, on average, at least 30%.

Civil servants and pensioners, yes, they had seen a year ago volatilize its two extra payments, will return again next year. Socialist MP Pedro Marques also summarized this change in a single sentence: "It gives officers a pay with one hand and takes it away with the other."
Basically, this is again shuffling the cards but the game (and save money intended) is the same. The Government clarifies that the progressive nature of the income tax in this mode becomes more equitable and also ensures that the entire workforce, ultimately, will be better than the general fall in wages, which reached 7%.
Gaspar added that the Government will also continue running an increasingly restrictive budget and intends, without specifying too, of taxing financial transactions and to increase what they pay now owners of property worth over a million euros, the high cylinder cars and luxury boats. It also plans to increase the tax on snuff.
Gaspar, who called himself the "huge" tax increases, said that the country still lives "critical moments" and that on October 8, in Luxembourg, the European Union must approve the seventh All loan of 78,000 million euros a year and half ago brought to Portugal from bankruptcy. One way to remind citizens that live protected by the creditors and the troika, which, incidentally, these measures met two days before the Portuguese-closely monitors all movements.
The picture painted by Gaspar is bad. The economy will fall this year and only 3% from July 2013 will begin to grow. And unemployment, now bordering on 16%, to reach 16.7%. The finance minister said, however, that Portugal, in his view, daily gains credibility in the markets and in the world, but then added that the country is not in a situation of economic crisis but social emergency. And he explained that the government is, "without relying on shortcuts or easy ways" to get out of a vicious circle. The opposition-and consumer associations and many of the Portuguese-economists say the opposite: the recipe machamartillo cuts advocated by the Government has lost both the real economy of the country that it creeps precisely in a circle cycle (more austerity recession-recession austerity more ...) Gaspar wants out of that.
The Portuguese Government therefore moves on. Now is the turn of the opposition. This Thursday's announced two motions of censure, called by the Portuguese Communist Party and the Left Bloc. The Portuguese Socialist Party (PS) has already stated that he would abstain, appealing to a sense of responsibility, but also made clear he would vote against the budget next year, which includes these measures announced yesterday. The decision may seem symbolic (the coalition government enjoys an absolute majority in Parliament), but break a hitherto cherished political consensus welcomed by the troika.
For its part, the CGTP union, which on Saturday brought thousands of people to protest cuts announced just calling a general strike on November 14.
