Portuguese anti-austerity parties won overwhelming in the nations elections yet the right-wing party with the largest vote total of all parties is continuing the austerity poverty creating platform set forth by central bankers of the EU based in Germany. Incumbent Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho started composing his new Cabinet yesterday after the country’s president invited him to form a government. Not one member of the political leftist parties whose votes totaled 54 percent were allowed in the new cabinet and the parties vowed to bring down the government.The conservative head of state refused to give any power and allow the democratic process to abate because he couldn't swallow giving these parties any voice given their opposition to being in the EU and the shared currency that gives more power to bankers in Brussels than voter in Libson.
The left majority in parliament though promised to use their combined parliamentary majority to quickly bring down the minority government by voting against its four-year policy program, which will be the first item on the new Parliament’s agenda. Rejection of the program would force the government’s resignation next month. Portugal has been hit hard by policies intended to get this poverty reduced country even ore poor so a few loans can be repaid with jacked up interest. Incumbent Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho said his government is determined to abide by the eurozone’s fiscal rules. He said he is willing to compromise with opposition parties to achieve the “essential goal” of reducing national debt. The center-right coalition barely won and now finds itself reduced in a minority state not likely to get many of their objectives passed. 
One has to wonder if the Socialists could of actually unseated this government in elections had it not been for the tough and fear based actions of those who proclaimed the country would be bankrupt if it were to quit the EU zone. it didn't help that their candidate was of Indian descent as well and seen as a foreigner and outsider in Portuguese politics. The country has to eventually find a way out of the EU which only promises its citizens to be second class citizens in the EU although in actuality it would be 22 nd class citizens as all of his productivity and gains would go into making bankers pockets filled outside the country.
