Foreword to Book “Routes VIII”

President Cavaco Silva analyses the “post-troika” period in the Foreword to “Routes VIII”

To celebrate the anniversary of the empowerment for his second mandate, on 9 March, the President of the Republic publishes the Foreword of “Routes VIII”, a book that brings together the main speeches he delivered during last year.

In the Foreword, President Cavaco Silva analyses, precisely and in depth, the “post-troika” period. He specifically approaches the new European rules on budgetary discipline, the return to the public debt market, the costs of a second bail-out, economic growth and a medium term national commitment.

The full disclosure of Book “Routes VIII” will occur later.
