Agence France-PresseJune 7, 2013 10:22
Portugal's parliament adopted Friday a revised budget aiming to keep its finances on track as part of its international bailout after the country's top court rejected several measures in the initial plan.

The budget passed easily thanks to the solid majority the centre-right government holds in parliament, with opposition parties voting against.

Agence France-PresseMay 6, 2013 08:15
Portugal on Monday pushed ahead with deeply unpopular plans to slash 30,000 public sector jobs by launching talks with unions as part of a sweeping savings package to satisfy international creditors. The new "medium-term programme", which also includes pushing back the full pension age for civil servants from 65 years to 66 years and extending their work-week to 40 hours, was announced on Friday.
