The Portuguese government today banned any new government spending and public sector services and imposed a special authorization from the Ministry of Finance for unforeseen payments.
The measure, the most radical applied so far by the Portuguese conservative government with spending ministries and agencies of the state, is the first one taken last Sunday after announcing new welfare cuts to cover 1,300 million euros in savings which declared illegal the Constitutional Court.
An office of Finance Minister Vitor Gaspar, issued today states that the restriction will continue until "further order" of the Executive.
Freezing only save three types of variable amount expenses: payments usual staff, generated by running contracts, including payments of basic water or electricity, and court costs.
Similar measures, though less radical, previously adopted by the Portuguese government not to exceed the fiscal deficit margins, generated strong criticism situations in public services which had to face unexpected expenses or overruns.
There were hospitals who complained of being unable to renew equipment and drugs, police in missing paper paperwork stopped by lack of ink in printers or foreign films with subtitles and could not be projected in the national film library in languages that no understood.
The unbudgeted expenditure authority in this exercise will also "exceptional", according to the Ministry of Finance, and in principle only for items that are reported in the period ending as urgent today.
The office of Finance attributed the extent of the need to correct the sentence budgets, that last Friday as unconstitutional suppression of a bonus to pensioners and civil servants as well as cuts from 5 to 6% and unemployment benefits disease.
According to the Ministry of Finance, the opinion of the Portuguese Supreme Court, which the government accuses of endangering the country's financial stability, create "serious difficulties" to meeting fiscal targets lusas, committed to the EU and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in exchange for ransom.
Therefore, he argues, is "necessary" to take measures to strengthen budgetary control and containment of public spending to adapt to a "new reality".
Portuguese Prime Minister, Pedro Passos Coelho, reacted to the ruling Sunday by announcing cuts in health, education, social security and public companies as well as government spending.
The Executive Luso trial now reviewing what to cut to balance the budget at the next meeting of the Ecofin and an extraordinary visit of the troika that will evaluate the progress of the financial assistance program.
The European Ministers of Economy and Finance (ECOFIN) decided on Friday and Saturday in Dublin extending repayment periods Portuguese rescue of 78,000 million euros, Lisbon took for granted and now considered endangered by distrust of their partners to the consequences of the judgment.
Technicians from the troika, consisting of the IMF, the Commission and the European Central Bank, which granted and monitor the implementation of the bailout, will make a special examination of the implementation of their commitments in the coming weeks, officials said.
It depends on the country to receive another tranche of international aid -2.000 million euros, which for now is locked.
Portugal has so few days to make a list of savings that is convincing to the membership and European organizations, whose reaction to the opinion of the Portuguese Constitution has been worse than that shown in the financial markets, where the interests of Portuguese debt have been little affected.
However, statements by officials, spokesmen and even some European minister have left to remind the country rescued, and clearly, that the fulfillment of their commitments depends improving the maturity of the loan as the delivery of their next sections .
