lpv:translated text	"Madam President, it has already been said that, regrettably, at this moment in the Portuguese Parliament, the government could be collapsing. If the government falls, it will happen as a result of the political instability caused by the opposition parties, which have not supported another austerity package. It is true: this is the fourth package in a few months. This is not because the previous ones were not observed: they were. Rather, it is because the conditions imposed have become worse at the mercy of the so-called desires of the markets. Portugal’s budgetary implementation in the months of January and February recorded a surplus, with a 3% spending cut and income up 11%. The political forces that created this political crisis by rejecting this austerity programme, tabled by the government and supported by the European Commission, the Council and the European Central Bank, can be very satisfied with this. However, it is only imprudence that allows them to be satisfied with this situation, as it is terrible for a euro area country with debt problems. It is terrible for the country, it is unfair for the Portuguese people, and it is another blow to the sustainability of the great project that is the single currency. We are not in a crisis in the euro area: we are in the midst of the euro area’s Great Crisis. I would like to ask my fellow Portuguese Members, what is the alternative? All the Member States have to submit their austerity plans up to April. Does Portugal, or does it not, need further austerity measures to reduce its deficit and public debt; to reduce the deficit, in 2012 and 2013, by 3% and 2%, respectively? You refused to negotiate, but you presented no alternatives. Rejection is not the solution, it is the problem, forcing further sacrifices on the Portuguese people."@en1
