The report only comes out in April, but the opposition has already ‘guilty’ for … – PT Journal

The result of the parliamentary inquiry into the BES / GES case should not be known before the end of April. PS, PCP and BE there is already a certainty: Ricardo Salgado is guilty, but can not be the only one. There are others, including the Government, supervisors and to the troika. The PSD lamented the “political chicanery” of the opposition.

Who is responsible for the collapse of Banco Espírito Santo (BES) and the Holy Spirit Group? PS, PCP and BE does not hesitate to point the finger at Ricardo Salgado, the ‘head’ of the family, but use the remaining fingers to point in other directions.

The main conclusion of the opposition parties is to blame, not dying unmarried, can not be the sole responsibility of a one person, Ricardo Salgado. The various managers of BES and GES, supervisors, auditors, the Government and to the troika must be held accountable.

“The Government, only lacked to add their own responsibilities, “said the socialist Pedro Nuno Santos, having enumerated the guilty: Ricardo Salgado and the other directors of BES and GES, the external auditors, supervisors, the Bank of Portugal (BoP), the CMVM, the troika and Passos Coelho Government.

“It’s hard to see the government repeating ad nauseam that the responsibility lies with the bop,” insisted the deputy PS, noting that there was “a capital injection of decision” coming “of the Portuguese Government and bop.”

To the Left Bloc, “the responsibility of what happened belongs BES administrators” because they were “negligent”. However, Mariana Mortágua also argued that there is no one guilty.

“There were failures” in the supervision and the bop acted “late” according to Mrs bloquista, which “will have consequences for taxpayers.”

As for the Government, had “two responsibilities.”: “Or was involved and did not say, or not involved in fact and it is irresponsible”

Also the PCP pointed finger to executive Passos Coelho. “This Government had specific responsibility for inaction. He knew he was a bank to collapse, a group was in trouble “and did nothing to prevent it, said Michael James.

In addition to the” successive governments “since the 90s, the communist deputy added that “All this is due to the nature of a person, the behavior” of Ricardo Salgado.

Even the President of the Republic, Aníbal Cavaco Silva, was involved in critical PCP and BE. At issue were statements by the head of state “15 days before the collapse,” as recalled Michael James, and the ‘detail’ of the parliamentary committee of inquiry have not been able to question the President.

Among the many culprits, the troika was of which had less responsibility, but it was not exempt. “Maybe the troika could not say that one of the major banks were to collapse,” joked the communist deputy.

While they are not known the official conclusions of the parliamentary inquiry, the PSD, through Carlos Abreu Amorim lamented this “political chicanery” of the opposition, claiming that “there seems to be changing strategy.”
