Portuguese PM resigns after losing vote
So it seems that Portugal is in for a bumpy ride for the next few monthsPortuguese Prime Minister José Sócrates has announced his resignation parliament rejected his minority government's latest round of austerity measures.
This could lead to an EU/IMF bailout been forced on Portugal at a time when there is no Government in place. That would be disastrous for the country, similar to Ireland in December(well there was a poor excuse for a government in place at the time) Portugal needs to have a united government who will fight for the rights of the Portuguese people right now, without that the EU/IMF will walk all over the people'Today every opposition party rejected the measures proposed by the government to prevent that Portugal resort to external aid,' Mr Sócrates said in a televised address.
