"Mr President, first of all, I would like to draw attention to the value that the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), and especially the Portuguese of the PPE Group, ascribe to the upcoming Council, to the solution that was found – which is frankly better than was expected at the time – and, in particular, to the work of my colleagues, Mr Brok and Mr Gualtieri, who prepared the report on behalf of Parliament, in line with the Commission’s positions, bringing the fund closer to something that clearly follows the Union method and moving it away from what would be the intergovernmental solution.
Next, I should like to say to all my fellow Members, at a time when Portugal is experiencing a political crisis, that the Portuguese Social Democratic Party (PSD), which is part of the PPE Group, is ready to govern following elections. Moreover, we will govern in line with criteria, which are criteria for the euro area, meeting all the targets set and, beyond that, doing what the Portuguese Socialist Party (PS) was unable to do in 13 years; I repeat, 13 years.
The PS government was a spectacular failure. Everything happening in Portugal was foreseen by the PSD during the 2009 elections. I took part in that campaign and we warned that this would happen. Therefore, we are now here to say that we give every guarantee to the European Union and, in particular, to our partners in the euro area, that we will fulfill every criteria, which will be demanding and will force the Portuguese people to make sacrifices. However, there will be, for once, someone credible in government, in contrast with the current Portuguese Government, which had to table four stability and growth programmes, and which is constantly seeking new solutions without being able to give the markets a credible response; to give a response that serves the interests of Portugal and of Europe."@en1
