Dozens of people gathered on Saturday in Alameda in Lisbon to protest “in writing” against the privatization of TAP, a “crime that harms the national interest” according to the union Armenian Carlos.

“TAP is sustainable and everyone knows that is,” answered those words filmmaker António Pedro Vasconcelos, who has been at the forefront of the movement against the stoppage and now also participated in protest of Alameda.

On this subject, he said, “the Portuguese have been a little anesthetized” although they have perceived “danger” which is the privatization of the company that the government wants to do in the coming months.

TAP admitted, has some problems, for which “the State resigns”, but is sustainable, as the administration itself says. “We will not stop because we know it is all about a very serious thing, the sale of the last jewel in the crown,” he promised.

Also against “selling Pataco” the country was the socialist Manuel Alegre to who privatize TAP is not only a strategic error as “a crime against the country.” If the PS win the next election that has “power and will” to reverse the question, which is “political will”.

Also of political will and “ideological option” spoke Armenian Carlos, accusing the government of wanting to sell “anyway”, with nothing have learned from previous privatizations. “Who delapida public property is jeopardizing the interests of the Portuguese” and the government what they want is “leave no stone unturned” in state-owned enterprises accused.
