Although the retail customers aggrieved by the commercial role of GES have been developing various actions to recover the money invested since the collapse of the group, already in 2014, this topic was strengthened after, in February, the Prime Minister, António Costa, have publicly censured the governor of the Bank of Portugal, Carlos Costa, to be a “drag” a solution to the problem.
