Report

In a statement with distinctly political overtones, no doubt with next month's general election in mind, the prime minister on Tuesday night focused more on what is not included in the €78 billion package than what is. 

There will, he assured the Portuguese1 people he was addressing in a live television broadcast, be no more cuts in public sector2 salaries, no abolition3 of holiday and Christmas bonuses, and no freeze in the lowest pensions - some of which in Portugal, are well below €300 a month. 

Essentially4, Mr Socrates stressed, the plan coincides with the austerity package parliament rejected last month, leading to the minority Socialist5 government's resignation, but is more far-reaching in some areas and calls for rigorous analysis and monitoring of progress. And, he said, it also includes some labour market reforms that he did not detail. 

More information, and less politics, is expected from IMF and EU officials on Wednesday. Portugal's right-of-centre opposition6 parties, which have been consulted by the visiting officials during the past two weeks, had said they backed the bailout bid in principle.
