Steps: “Let’s nationalize more banks? Not just terms the Caixa Geral de Depósitos” – Express

the leader of The PSD, Pedro Passos Coelho, again said this Saturday that does not agree with the nationalization of the New Bank and warned of the damage that this could have for the State and for the Portuguese advances in the SIC Notícias.

“If what the private will offer the New Bank is deemed insufficient by the Government, then it means that the State is willing to pay more than they do. And I need to know on what basis, in that assessment and how much is it going to cost the State and to the Portuguese”, said this Saturday afternoon, in Évora.

And added? “We will nationalize more banks. Does not come under the General Box of Deposits?”.

To Passos Coelho, not even makes sense to the hypothesis of a nationalization temporary that will be one of the hypotheses under study by the Government.

"To avoid, from now on, the spirits more anxious that are waiting to make the PSD on matters of this nature, I want to clarify that the PSD does not give any openness on their part to nationalize the bank no, nor for 15 days, not three months," he said, quoted by Lusa.

Passos Coelho stated to have present in its memory the decision of the Government of José Socrates took to nationalise the BPN, referring to the fact that it was the previous Government PSD/CDS-PP "had, then, to sell what", says Lusa.

"we do not Yet know well how much you have cost the nationalization of BPN, a minimum of you know that already has cost more than 2.5 billion euros and it is estimated that you can go almost to the six billion", noted, considering "that the LBW was a crust of walnut to the side of the New Bank".

The nationalization of the New Bank was a hypothesis considered by the minister of Finance, Mário Centeno, since the offerings made by international groups have not been sufficiently satisfactory.

For example, the investor who goes to the front in the race offers a total of 1.5 billion euros, but the capitalization of the New Bank – which was born from the bankruptcy of the BES – amounted to 4.9 billion euros. In addition, since it was created in August of 2014, and until September last year and already totalled a debt of 1.8 billion euros.

But nothing is decided yet.

the Second writes the Express, in its edition this weekend, all scenarios are open, as is the direct sale, the nationalization defintiva, the nationalization temporary and, now, the sale of only a part of what’s left of the old BES.

For now, they are trying that the north-american Lone Star, which is ahead in the race to the New Database, enhance your propostae that one of the other candidates – the consortium Apollo/Centerbridge – submit a binding proposal.

Whatever the solution, the goal is that the chosen solution is the one that weighs less in the pocket of the Portuguese.
