De novo a EFACEC: mais um roubo aos contribuintes! Desculpem-me voltar a um tema sobre o qual já escrevi duas vezes: Em 2/11/2023, na publicação “A economia feliz”: https://lnkd.in/dET84dyE e em 22/3/2024, no texto “O escândalo revela-se”: https://lnkd.in/dZaTEMG8 E porque é que regresso a isto? Porque as tricas a que fomos sujeitos pelo governo de António Costa e apaniguados nos prejudicam muito e não podem ficar caladas e; Porque o Tribunal de Contas vem agora dar-me razão nas críticas que então fiz. Se querem ver que assim é, leiam o CNN Negócios de ontem, do qual apenas transcrevo algumas frases, que em parte citam o relatório da auditoria do TdC (mas também podem encontrar conteúdo similar, por ex., na Sic Notícias de ontem): “Aumentou risco da operação e custou mais 271 milhões ao Estado.” “... foi o próprio Estado a introduzir risco à operação, já que é incerto o retorno que poderá vir a obter.” “No fim do dia, os objetivos da nacionalização “não foram alcançados”” “Não foi evitada a deterioração da situação financeira e comercial da Efacec; não foi estabilizado o seu valor financeiro e operacional; e não foram salvaguardados os postos de trabalho.” Quanto ao caderno de encargos da reprivatização: “... fez aumentar os riscos de discricionariedade e de parcialidade na apreciação das propostas.” E sobre os gastos públicos: “... e ainda há risco de efetivação de responsabilidades contingentes à custa, uma vez mais, das finanças públicas.” e “...há risco deste encargo aumentar ...” Ora, aqui está, preto no branco, pelo próprio Tribunal de Contas: TUDO foi errado, TUDO foi feito às custas do erário público, TUDO prejudicou os Portugueses e a economia nacional, TUDO foi discricionário e parcial (que é como quem diz ... sem proteger os interesses nacionais), NADA beneficiou a empresa, o tecido industrial e os postos de trabalho. É imoral – para não dizer mais – a atuação daquele governo socialista, como também o foi no caso do despedimento da TAP (sobre o que também já escrevi, em 19/6/2024: “Engana-me que eu gosto”). Seria imoral da minha parte calar a voz e não continuar a denunciar os cambalachos de que todos nós, Portugueses, somos as principais vítimas! #efacec #erariopublico #contribuintes #antoniocosta

Sodecia Safety & Mobility Guarda recently hosted a fantastic Family Day that brought together our employees and their families for a day filled with joy, togetherness, and community spirit. The event featured a variety of activities, including charitable initiatives such as the collection of essential items for donation, a lunch that also provided a great opportunity to socialize, and plenty of entertainment for all ages. ❤️ One of the highlights was a Peddy Paper, where participants enjoyed traditional games and challenges along the way. The points earned in this activity were converted into monetary donations, which were proudly presented to two incredible organizations: Centro de Apoio à Vida - NASCER and Aldeias de Crianças SOS Portugal. We are proud to support their important work and to have shared this special day with our Sodecia family. 📸 Check out some of the memorable moments from that day! #Sodecia #FamilyDay #Community #GivingBack #CorporateResponsibility #TeamSodecia
