Austerity is killing in Portugal; the real face of the rescue programme
Thursday 11/10/12, 10:30 Room PHS 0 B01
In addition to the institutional issues, beyond the street demonstrations expressing discontent and resistance, in addition to the speeches, there is a reality in Portugal that remains ignored by European peoples.
We are currently over 1 million three hundred thousand unemployed from a population of 10 million.
Every day the number of people without access to health care and unable to purchase medicines is growing .
Every day the number of families without access to water is growing.
Every day a growing number of families have to relinquish their homes to the banks, while continuing to pay the loans.
At the same time, legislation has been changed to allow rents to be increased.
Freedom of information is compromised, either through the sale of public channels or by drastic cuts in funding.
Repression is increasing. The suicide rate is growing.This is a reality that needs to be known and publicised.

A Austeridade está a matar em Portugal, a face real do programa de resgate
Para além das questões institucionais, para além das manifestações de resistência e descontentamento, para além dos discursos, há uma realidade em Portugal que tem permanecido ignorada pelos povos europeus.
Somos neste momento mais de 1milhão e trezentos mil desempregados, numa população de 10 milhões.
Todos os dias cresce o número de pessoas sem acesso aos cuidados de saúde e sem capacidade para adquirir medicamentos.
Todos os dias cresce o número de famílias sem acesso à agua canalizada.
Todos os dias cresce o número de famílias que entrega as suas casas aos bancos, continuando contudo a dever as prestações dos empréstimos.
Ao mesmo tempo, altera-se a legislação para permitir o aumento do valor dos arrendamentos.
A liberdade de informação é posta em causa, quer através da alienação de canais públicos, quer pelos cortes drásticos no financiamento.
A repressão aumenta. A taxa de suicídio cresce. Esta é uma realidade que precisa de ser conhecida e divulgada.
