About a hundred injured BES focused early on Thursday outside the headquarters of the New Bank in Lisbon in a further protest action. The first protesters, reports Lusa, arrived at the scene about 7pm and occupied the main entrances of the building at the intersection of Liberty Avenue to the street Barata Salgueiro, forcing the policy to cut traffic.
Employees of the institution were prevented from entering the institution and, at about 9:30 am, a special unit of police PSP retired people who were blocking the entrances, which settled later in front of the arcades of the bank’s headquarters.
Police, however, created a security cordon for employees of the New Bank can enter, having made a security cord under the arcades.
Speaking to Lusa, Rui Falcão, the AIEPC (Association of Indignados and Deceived Commercial Paper), said it was expected more than 200 people on site.
“People realized that it is on the street that we can solve and draw attention to the problem. It is good that everyone in Portugal has a sense of what is happening lest you what happened to us. We are here not only for our savings, but also for justice and honor of the country and the Portuguese, “he said.
Rui Falcão noted that all aggrieved want justice is done and that the laws change in the country. “We want these products are either banned or rated, that people are well informed of what they are buying, that was not what happened to us. They always told us that it was capital and guaranteed interest,” stressed Rui Falcão, stressing that the injured want to be reimbursed.
At the site, they hear horns and whistles of victims who, armed with banners and posters, require the Governor of the Bank of Portugal, Carlos Costa, run the allowance and are reimbursed the investment lost.
August 3, 2014, the Bank of Portugal took control of the BES, after the half-yearly losses of 3.6 billion euros, and announced the separation of the institution two entities: the so-called ‘bad bank’ (a vehicle that retains the name of BES and concentrating the toxic assets and liabilities of BES, as well as shareholders) and the bridge bank that has been designated Novo Banco
<. p> Following this process, hundreds of people lost their savings they had invested in commercial paper of Banco Espírito Santo (BES) and about ddez months requiring that they be returned the money invested.
