Brussels believes that the Constitutional Court reverse the Portuguese government comes at the worst moments. First, it rains, it pours. Complications to the conservative Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho, become evident after Cypriot surf rescue, that brought back the anxiety to a eurozone took months of relative calm. And second, because the news that Lisbon must find a way to plug a hole of 1,350 million euros, the cost of the extra payment to civil servants and pensioners and unemployed subsidies that judges require the Executive to restore-occurred before a meeting in which the finance ministers of the eurozone could make a nod to countries like Portugal and Ireland bailed. The Commission also emphasizes that Lisbon should not an inch away from the commitments already agreed to cut the deficit.
In a statement released late on Sunday, the community showed its tranquility responsible for confirming that the Portuguese Government maintains the calendar fiscal adjustment renegotiated three weeks ago. Given that the recession will be tougher than expected, the troika-Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund granted a relaxation Lisbon, which this year will allow the deficit to be 4.5% of GDP instead of 5.5%.
But the new circumstances, and new cuts announced yesterday by Passos Coelho-making even more difficult to meet these deadlines. "Any deviation from the objectives of the program or renegotiation would be to neutralize the efforts already made by the Portuguese people and prolong the difficulties of adjustment", held in Brussels.
But the Commission not only shows the stick: also teaches a piece of carrot. If Lisbon meets, you can extend the repayment term international 78,000 million granted in 2011, "which would facilitate the return of Portugal to the financial markets." This decision, say in Brussels, will be taken soon. Passos Coelho, in his televised speech expected yesterday afternoon, announced that prompted this measure of relief.
And the opportunity for this request arrives this week in Dublin, where he will meet European finance ministers. Despite being an Informal Eurogroup, in which decisions are not final, could relax the pressure he is put under Lisbon. The 17 ministers of the euro insisted on 16 March in his interest in helping Portugal re-financed in the market, without the crutches of international aid. This agreed an extension of the repayment of loans. But need to put numbers to this decision. Technical details will be decided at future meetings, the ministers said.
Community sources claimed yesterday that they were expectant before the appearance of the Portuguese prime minister. Passos Coelho wanted to know if they offer any clues to see if Lisbon will be able to remain diligent student of the rescued, along with Ireland, against the unruly and unpredictable Greece. Despite follow recipes that dictated from Brussels, Berlin, Frankfurt and Washington, the Portuguese economy did not lift his head. And the spending cuts announced yesterday the Prime Minister do but fill shadows over the future.
The government announced three weeks ago that the European economic slump would drop the country's GDP by 2.3%, more than twice the previous official forecast. The break in the partners has strongly affected the export sector. The unemployment rate also will reach 19% by year end, the Executive predicted last month Passos Coelho. Brussels, aware that the targets are not met and that the deficit soared last year to 6.6%, has postponed the target of 3% by 2015, instead of 2014 as planned.
Before the bomb exploded Portuguese, was scheduled to meet next Thursday Eurogroup-the body that brings together the ministers of the monetary union, to focus on the rescue of Cyprus, and that the ECOFIN Finance ministers of all EU-addressed steps to get to the bank union.
