Well our Câmara's recent inventory shows it owes €40M, I can't see how that can be repaid with our local population, Olhão, fuzeta, Moncarapacho, Quelfes, Pechão and some isolated quintas.

One bit of good news is that the IMI drops to 0.4% but those owners of old vacant rundown properties are going to have their IMI tripled.

Then @ 15.00 hours yesterday Miguel Relvas handed in his resignation as a Government Minister.

It is reported in today's Press that it is likely Relvas will be stripped of his "degree"

This is a massive blow personally to our upstanding PM Pedro Coelho as he & Relvas are "best bud's" & have been so for many years as they have been involved in several business ventures together & there friendship is so strong that when Relvas meet his new girlfriend not long back Pedro Coelho promptly gave her a place on his staff at a rather good salary.
(At the publics expenses off course)

Questions are now being asked as too what will happen to the 56 people Relvas employed to run his office (yes 56)

Just for once common sense & justice seem to be working here in Portugal

p.s. This is a very serious blow for the Gov as now the door has been opened the Opposition Parties are pushing for a complete & full investigation into Relvas passed life[/QUOTE]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After he "quit" one off the "Boy's" got him a job in Brazil ,the job decription was given that he was there to promote The Português Language

Well it seems you can't keep a good bloke down ,as last night at the PSD Congress his old mate & our fantasticlly stupid PM Pedro Coelho has put Relvas forward to sit on the PSD National Council as Chairman.

After all the s--t that went on over his fake degree ,the internal problems in the PSD it caused ,the Press & TV coverage it generated & now the idiot put's this idea forward

This one is just to good not to post

Ex President off Matosinhos Camará & his daughter tried it on in several different way's & got caught

Narciso acusado de se apropriar de 17 mil euros e de iPhone - PÚBLICO

As he was President off Matosinhos for 29 years one would think he had enough put away for his old aged without trying to pull another one.

Translates sufficiently for you to understand

When Paul Rees first started up the Algarve Daily News he covered all topics but over the years as the miss use off Public Funds grew - The Corruption within the Political System which has grown out off all proportion & lets not forget the Judicial System's lack off "interest" in tackling these.

It has now turned into the most truthfully report over the real state off the Portuguese System

I in the past tried to info fellow Expats of the above , but now with Pauls force covering the same topics in a much more professional manner I will stop.

If you do not already receive the weekly Algarve News Letter I suggest you sign up.

Taxman is after former PM José Sócrates

There is plenty more in this weeks especially over the BES Scandal
