Portugal: Government heads for end of the line

The Portuguese Constitutional Court's rejection of some proposed austerity measures is the latest setback for Portugal's government. However, this is an opportunity truly to reform the state and end the current impasse, believes a Portuguese newspaper editor. 
Settling in Mozambique is increasingly attractive to a growing number of Portuguese who are suffering from the crisis. Less threatening than Angola, Mozambique has raised expectations among a people confused by events – even if some of them are coming back empty-handed. 
More than a million people of all ages took to the streets of Portugal on March 2 to demand an end to austerity. The growing discontent could bring down the political system that has been in place since the fall of the dictatorship. 
European leaders are counting on Portugal to set an example of how austerity can succeed when it is applied seriously. Sadly, despite a unprecedented tightening of the screw, Lisbon is still being forced to sell off its “crown jewels” to halt its spiralling debts. 
The latest statistics on the state of the eurozone economy indicate that, contrary to what political leaders have recently been saying, the crisis is far from over. 
One out of four Portuguese young people is unemployed. To find work, these youngsters are ready to become expatriates, and the languages they learn before leaving - German, Russian, Chinese or Arabic - draw a map of their new promised lands. 
In requesting that the constitutional court re-examine the state budget for 2013, president Cavaco Silva runs the risk of plunging his country into a political crisis, warns a researcher and political analyst. As a result, the Portuguese people may be called on to take responsibility for the remedy chosen to cure the country’s economic ills. - 1 of 8
