MEP Miguel Portas said that, despite all flaws, “Portugal is still not a country that is a warren of Miguel Relvas” about the resignation of the public broadcast Directorate of Information, after the governmental attack to the exercise of free speech.

“The trust of the listeners in a radio station comes from the journalists work and the role of the Directorate of Information is to defend that independence as its precious”, Miguel Portas argued. In his weekly intervention in the program Conselho Superior at Antena Um radio station, the MEP from Unitarian Left (GUE/NGL) elected by the Left Bloc also addressed questions as the prime minister interview to the weekly newspaper Sol and the effect of the cold wave on Europe's more disadvantaged/

As to the interview of Passos Coelho, Miguel Portas considers that the strategy of “good student” before the troika is wrong because “without any more time to redeem the debt and without renegotiate the debt itself Portugal will ultimately not stand and when later the prime minister recognize this inevitability, worse for the country”. The MEP added that the idea that Passos Coelho will manage “against winds and tides, obtain the thing Manuela Ferreira Leite considers a miracle is something more in the possessions of God than in the hand of Passos Coelho”. 

So much so, the MEP added, that “from Brussels do not come not good ideas nor good news”. The last summit did not devoted to growth “nor even one new Euro, nor one fresh cent”. What grew, he said, “was the rhetoric, was not the money” and even the head of the conservative deputies in the European Parliament said not to understand “how can one attempt to outlaw Keynesianism or socialism itself, how can it one inscribe in the Constitutions that policies based on public expenses are forbidden”. It is, Miguel Portas stressed, “an authoritarian drift from Berlin”.

As to the fact that more than 160 people died due to the cold wave in the “Europe rich”, the MEP from the Left Bloc recalled that they are “people forgotten, old and poor, very lonely, with much less able to defend”, what “should lead us to reflect on the attacks to the social support programs that have been made not only in Portugal but a little throughout Europe”. This is the time, he added, “that is important to exist what one calls the welfare state, with the National Health Service, with shelter for the homeless”.
