1 | Portugal's Constitutional Court Blocks Bailout Measures | Nolavin'ny Fitsarana Avo Momba Ny Lalàm-panorenan'i Portiogaly Ireo Fepetra Fitsitsiana |
2 | This post is part of our special coverage Europe in Crisis. | Ity lahatsoratra ity dia ampahany amin'ny tatitray manokana mikasika ny krizy any Eoropa. |
3 | Portugal's Constitutional Court has struck down [pt] austerity measures considered necessary by the government to meet the conditions of its 78-billion-euro (101 billion US dollars) bailout program, opening a gap of 1.3 billion euros in the country's 2013 budget. | Nolavin'ny [pt] Fitsarana Avo Momba ny Lalàm-panorenana ao Portiogaly ireo fepetra fitsitsiana noheverin'ny governemanta fa ilaina mba hameno ireo fepetrany mikasika ny lamina ho fanitsiana tetibola mitentina 78 miliara euro, izay mbola manokatra lavaka [amin'ny teny anglisy] eo amin'ny 1.3 miliara euro ao amin'ny tetibola 2013-n'i Portiogaly. |
4 | The court, which reviewed the constitutionality of the measures at the request in early January 2013 of President Cavaco Silva and all opposition parties, announced that it had rejected four of this year's budget's nine contested measures on April 5, 2013. | Tamin'ny 05 Aprily ny fitsaràna, izay nandinika ny maha-araka ny lalaàm-panorenana ireo fepetra tamin'ny fangatahan'ny Filoha Cavaco Silva sy ireo antoko mpanohitra rehetra tany am-piandohan'ny volana Janoary 2013, dia nanambara fa nandà ny efatra tamin'ireo fepetra sivy notoherina tao anatin'ny tetibolan'ity taona ity. |
5 | It ruled that wage and pension cuts as well as reductions to sick leave and unemployment benefits violated the country's constitutional principles of equality and fair distribution of fiscal burden. | Notsarainy ho manitsakitsaka ny foto-kevitra nijoroan'ny lalàm-panorenana marindanja sy ny fitsinjaràna tsy miangatra ny ziogan-ketra ireo fanapahana tamin'ny karama sy ny fisotroan-dronono ary koa ny fanenàna ny fialantsasatra noho ny aretina sy ny vola fanampiana ho an'ireo tsy n'asa. |
6 | Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho warned that the government will now have to find spending cuts elsewhere to make up the deficit. | Nampitandrina ny Praiminisitra Pedro Passos Coelho fa ny governemanta dia tsy maintsy hitady fampihenàna tetibola any an-kafa mba hanentsenana ny banga. |
7 | Portugal opened its doors for the “troika”, formed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), European Central Bank, and the European Commission (EC), on April 6, 2011 to bailout the country's public debt. | Ny 6 aprily 2011 i Portiogaly dia nanokatra ny varavarany ho an'ny “troïka”, izay ahitàna ny Tahirim-Bola Iraisam-pirenena (FMI), ny Banky Foibe Eoropeana (BCE) sy ny Fivondronambe Eoropeana (CE), mba hanilika ny trosam-panjakàna. |
8 | The Portuguese people, after nearly two years scraping by with austerity and economic recession, reacted to the court's ruling harshly. | Tamim-panehoankevitra mivaivay no nandraisan'ny vahoaka Portioge ny didim-pitsaràna, taorian'ny roa taona nizakàna fitsitsiana sy fihemorana ara-toekarena. |
9 | Days before the Constitutional Court blocked austerity measures, Portugal's government survived a no-confidence motion brought against it by the opposition. | Roa andro nialohan'ny nitsipahan'ny Fitsaràna Avo momba ny Lalàm-panorenana ireo fepetram-pitsitsiana, ny governemanta tao Portiogaly dia nivoaka sempotra taminà fitsipaham-pitokisana iray nataon'ny mpanohitra hamelezana azy. |

11 | In light of the year's now dysfunctional state budget, having had parts of it struck down in April, Max writing on the blog Informação Incorrecta claimed [pt] that the government has two options: asking the troika for “more time to meet budget deficit targets” which should reach this year 5.5 percent of the GDP, or asking for one more bailout tranche: | Mikasika ny tetibolam-panjakana ankehitriny izay mitsingilahila taorian'ny nandinihana ny ampahany ny volana Aprily, Max manoratra ao amin'ny blaogy Informação Incorrecta dia nanamafy [pt] fa manana safidy roa ny governemanta : miangavy amin'ny troika “ny fanalavàm-potoana mba hahafahana manatratra ny tanjona hanentsina ny banga” izay mety hahatratra 5,5% n'ny PIB amin'ity taona ity, na miangavy ampaham-bola amboniny fanampiny indray : |
12 | the Court's admonishment perhaps represents the only possibility [for the government] to call into question someone else's responsibilities and to invoke a new aid from IMF-EU-ECB. | angamba ny fanitsiana nataon'ny fitsarana mety ho làlan-tokana [ho an'ny governemanta] hametraka anaty adihevitra ny andraikitr'olon-kafa sy hangataka fanampiana iray vaovao avy amin'ny FMI-BCE-UE. |
13 | Let it be clear: a second bailout would be a tragedy and the hope is that the troika agrees to concede more time for Portugal to achieve the budgetary targets. | Aoka hazava fa : ny ho zava-doza ny fanavotana fanindroany ary ny fanantenana dia enga anie hanaiky ny fanalavam-potoana ny troika mba ho afaka hanarina ny tetibolany i Portiogaly. |
14 | Personally I hope to be wrong. | Enga anie aho manokana mba ho diso. |
15 | But we must not forget that the country has an economy in recession, an unemployment [rate] that doesn't get any better (and it wont in the near future), huge interest rates that must be paid, falling tax revenues. | Saingy aoka tsy hohadinointsika fa mihemotra ny toekarem-pirenena, tsy misy fihenany ny tahan'ireo tsy an'asa (ary mbola hitombo amin'ny andro manaraka), zanabola midangana be tsy maintsy mbola haloa, fanangonana hetra mitotongana. |
16 | And in the coffers there is not a penny. | Ary tsy misy kirobo intsony ny fitehirizam-bola. |
17 | On blog Aventar, Jorge “Fliscorno” argued [pt] that the prime minister “knew from the outset that the budget would not be constitutional” but used it as a strategy to achieve a goal: | Ao amin'ny bilaogy Aventar, Jorge “Fliscorno” dia niaro ny hoe [pt] ny praiminisitra “nahalala hatramin'ny voalohany fa tsy mifanaraka amin'ny lalàm-panorenana ilay tetibola” saingy nampiasa azy io ho toy ny tetikady iray hanatràrana tanjona izy: |
18 | Passos Coelho announced that he needs look elsewhere for money that he expected to take illegally from the Portuguese. (…) He has the excuse to go on with the policy that he has undertaken since being elected and in complete opposition to what he promised while in opposition and in electoral campaign. (…) | Nanambara i Passos Coelho fa tsy maintsy mikaroka vola avy any an-kafa izy izay nokendreny halaina tsy ara-drariny amin'ny Portiogey (…) Nataony ho antony hahafahana manohy ny politika noraisiny hatramin'ny nahalàny azy izany ary mifanohitra tanteraka amin'izay nampanantenainy fony izy mbola mpanohitra sy mbola nanao fampielezankevita. (..) |
19 | The prime minister of this country has once again gone against his word and announced more cuts in social welfare, health, education, and public companies. | Ny praiminisitr'ity firenena ity dia tsy nahatàna ny teny nomeny ary nanambara fanatapahana misimisy kokoa amin'ny fiahiana ara-tsosialy, ny fahasalamana, ny fampianarana sy ny orinasam-panjakana. |
20 | It was “the D week for Portuguese politics”, wrote journalist Tiago Carrasco on The Crisis Republic blog. | Izay no “D week, na herinandro fanapahankevitra ho an'ny politika Portiogey”, hoy Tiago Carrasc, mpanao gazety nanoratra tao amin'ny bilaogy The Crisis Republic. |
21 | In fact, in the days before the Constitutional Court's decision became known, Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Miguel Relvas, who is the prime minister's controversial right-hand man, resigned, and the main opposition Socialist Party presented a motion of no-confidence against the government in the Parliament, which ultimately failed. | Raha ny marina, nanditra ireo andro vitsy nialoha ny fanambarana ny fanapahan-kevitry ny Fitsarana Avo Momba ny Lalàm-panorenana, nametra-pialana ny Minisitry ny Raharaha Parlemantera Miguel Relvas, izay tànan-kavanana mahabe resaka an'ny praiminisitra [angl], ary ny goavan'ny fanoherana, ny Antoko Sosialista, dia nametraka fitsipaham-pitokisana [amin'ny teny anglisy] ny fitondram-panjakana teo anoloan'ny Antenimiera, izay tsy tafita nony farany. |
22 | But as Carrasco said, “the real motion of no confidence [would] come at the end of the week” with the analysis of the 2013′s annual budget. | Saingy araka ny tenin'i Carrasco, “ho avy amin'ny faran'ny herinandro ny tena fitsipaham-pitokisana” miaraka amin'ny fandalinana ny tetibolan'ny taona 2013. |
23 | He predicted that “the coalition government will probably fall”, an idea already shared by many, including labor unions, opposition party politicians, and citizens: | Ary naminavina fa “hirodana ny governemantan'ny fiaraha-mitantana”, hevitra izay efa ifampizaràn'ny maro, ahitàna io sendikàn'ny mpiasa, mpanao politika avy amin'ny antoko mpanohitra ary ireo olon-tsotra : |
24 | First because it's the second time [the government] would deal with a Constitutional error. | Voalohany indrindra dia satria efa fanindroany izao [ny governemanta] no miatrika fahadisoana araka ny lalàm-panorenana. |
25 | Second, they would face an [sic] huge popular protest. | Faharoa, mety hiatrika hetsi-bahoaka goavana [sento] izy ireo. |
26 | And finally (and the most important one) the internal coalition is already rotten with centrists PP's [People's Party] deputies disagreeing often with liberal's measures and many discussions about the minister's recasting. | Ary farany (ny tena mafonja indrindra) dia efa nisamantsamaka ilay fiaraha-mitantana anatiny miaraka amin'ireo solombavam-bahoakan'ny PP [Antokom-Bahoaka] miandany amin'ny afovoany, matetika tsy manaiky ireo fepetra fanalalahana sy ireo adihevitra mikasika ny fanavaozana ny minisitera. Miandry ami-pahatoniana ny firodanana ara-politika voalaza i Portiogaly. |
27 | So Portugal calmly waits for the announced political collapse. | Ity lahatsoratra ity dia ampahany amin'ny tatitray manokana mikasika ny krizy any Eoropa. |
