Detecting language using up to the first 30 seconds. Use `--language` to specify the language Detected language: Portuguese [00:00.000 --> 00:04.000] I had more, but it's not enough. I'm going to finish it with a bottle. [00:05.000 --> 00:08.000] Did you wait anxiously for the new year? [00:09.000 --> 00:10.000] Everything ready! [00:14.000 --> 00:16.000] Happy new year! [00:16.000 --> 00:34.000] Happy new year! Happy new year! [00:35.000 --> 00:42.000] It was going to be a shorter building, with only 5 minutes, but the fans were already thinking ahead. [00:43.000 --> 00:44.000] Get in with your right foot! [00:44.000 --> 00:47.000] I like that people never lose their courage. [00:48.000 --> 00:51.000] It's new! It's new! [00:52.000 --> 00:53.000] It's the last one to be used! [00:54.000 --> 01:01.000] After the party, the hard reality of a new year begins, and the new moderating rates of health are already in force. [01:02.000 --> 01:07.000] The emergency service in the hospitals costs up to 20 euros, for those who are not exempt. [01:08.000 --> 01:10.000] In the health centers, the emergency goes up to 5 euros. [01:10.000 --> 01:16.000] In the hospital of São José, in Lisbon, few users were caught by surprise with these new prices. [01:17.000 --> 01:18.000] 20 euros. [01:19.000 --> 01:22.000] On this first day, obviously, there was no room for much protest. [01:23.000 --> 01:25.000] Those who needed to come to an emergency had already been prevented. [01:26.000 --> 01:27.000] Did you already know you were going to pay more? [01:28.000 --> 01:29.000] Yes, already. Unfortunately, already. [01:30.000 --> 01:31.000] And how much did you pay? [01:32.000 --> 01:33.000] 20 euros. [01:34.000 --> 01:37.000] Despite the conformity of some, others show greater indignation. [01:37.000 --> 01:39.000] I paid 20 euros. It seems like a huge robbery. [01:40.000 --> 01:42.000] A person comes to a consultation and pays 20 euros. [01:43.000 --> 01:45.000] Any day, we are paying the same in countries that do not have health. [01:46.000 --> 01:49.000] So far, anyone over 65 years old paid only half the rate. [01:50.000 --> 01:55.000] Now, if you are not exempt, you pay the full emergency service, regardless of age. [01:56.000 --> 01:57.000] Thank you very much. [01:58.000 --> 02:00.000] Mr. Francisco, did you pay anything? [02:01.000 --> 02:02.000] Did you pay? [02:03.000 --> 02:04.000] I paid. [02:04.000 --> 02:06.000] 20 euros. [02:07.000 --> 02:08.000] And you are not exempt? [02:09.000 --> 02:10.000] I don't think so. [02:11.000 --> 02:15.000] Exemptions due to economic insufficiency or due to illness or disability remain unchanged. [02:16.000 --> 02:19.000] In the new cases, they have until April to ask for exemption. [02:20.000 --> 02:23.000] Did they give you the guarantee that you are still exempt or that you have to apply? [02:24.000 --> 02:27.000] We are exempt. We have an exemption of 80%. [02:28.000 --> 02:29.000] Due to disability, right? [02:29.000 --> 02:37.000] Although with much less fluency than in hospitals, those who went to urgent care in health centers today were not surprised by the increases. [02:38.000 --> 02:42.000] Most of the people came prepared, but others did it like this. [02:43.000 --> 02:45.000] Also here, the increases correspond to the double. [02:46.000 --> 02:50.000] A family consultation costs 5 euros and an emergency one 10 euros. [02:51.000 --> 02:52.000] People will run away a little bit to health. [02:52.000 --> 02:59.000] They will leave a lot to go to the doctor and go to the little things they used to do at home and don't really come to the doctor. [03:00.000 --> 03:01.000] Because it's a little hard. [03:02.000 --> 03:04.000] Tax payment is done at the moment. [03:05.000 --> 03:07.000] If you don't have the right amount, you can also do it by multibank. [03:08.000 --> 03:12.000] If you still have no conditions to do it, you have 10 days to pay the debt. [03:13.000 --> 03:17.000] If you don't do it, you incur a fine that is never less than 50 euros. [03:17.000 --> 03:21.000] And eating out of the house is more expensive from now on. [03:22.000 --> 03:27.000] But many restaurants will decide to keep the prices despite the increase of the VAT from 13% to 23%. [03:28.000 --> 03:34.000] A sacrifice of the professionals in the restaurant sector to try to avoid the customers' escape. [03:35.000 --> 03:40.000] The announcement of the increase in the account did not take the customers away from this restaurant in Lisbon. [03:41.000 --> 03:42.000] At least for now. [03:42.000 --> 03:47.000] By chance, I came here to eat, I didn't feel it yet, but in general I know that there will be an economic diet. [03:48.000 --> 03:50.000] And our pocket will be a little lighter. [03:51.000 --> 03:52.000] I think that today I will not pay more. [03:53.000 --> 03:54.000] But I think that next time maybe. [03:55.000 --> 03:57.000] From Saturday to Sunday, the cost of living increased. [03:58.000 --> 04:05.000] In food, several products that had IVA at 6% and 13% were now taxed at 23%. [04:06.000 --> 04:10.000] In the restoration, IVA changes from the intermediate rate to the maximum. [04:10.000 --> 04:13.000] A bifana, an imperial and a coffee. [04:14.000 --> 04:21.000] How much did this small meal cost in 2011 and how much does it cost now in 2012? [04:22.000 --> 04:27.000] It cost 2.30 euros for the bifana, 90 cents for the imperial and 60 cents for the coffee. [04:28.000 --> 04:30.000] At the beginning of the year I will still try to maintain the prices. [04:30.000 --> 04:40.000] If in the future I cannot fulfill my obligations to the State, I will have to increase any of the things. [04:41.000 --> 04:46.000] So maybe the bifana 10 cents more and the imperial 5 cents more. [04:47.000 --> 04:50.000] The rest of the coffee will not be more, because it is already selling at 60 cents since last year. [04:51.000 --> 04:56.000] The increase does not seem much, but as it is continuous during the year, it ends up being a great impact at the end of the year. [04:56.000 --> 05:00.000] Are you prepared for the IVA at the cost increase level? [05:01.000 --> 05:04.000] No. The Portuguese in general, no. Some Portuguese, yes. [05:05.000 --> 05:11.000] These Portuguese are in Brazil on vacation, while the other Portuguese are here and are paying what the others were supposed to pay. [05:12.000 --> 05:14.000] There is no possible escape, it has to be. [05:15.000 --> 05:17.000] It has to affect everyone. [05:18.000 --> 05:24.000] The Association of the Restoration and Hotels sector believes that entrepreneurs will not raise prices. [05:24.000 --> 05:30.000] But it considers that the IVA increase puts in danger about 50,000 jobs. [05:31.000 --> 05:35.000] It defends that a soup cannot have the same tax as a jewel. [05:36.000 --> 05:38.000] But it has, since this Sunday. [05:41.000 --> 05:46.000] And 2011 was a year with hard cuts in the performance of public servants. [05:47.000 --> 05:52.000] A situation that was felt to double in families where husband and wife both work for the State. [05:52.000 --> 06:01.000] There are many cases like this in Portugal and we will see how it will be in 2012 for a family that already started to suffer from this at the beginning of the year [06:02.000 --> 06:06.000] and now has to live with a monthly budget of 1,150 euros. [06:07.000 --> 06:12.000] It is very difficult nowadays for us to survive. [06:13.000 --> 06:16.000] We would even like to have one more child, but we don't even think about it. [06:17.000 --> 06:20.000] With one it is already what? Now with two it is even worse. [06:20.000 --> 06:24.000] Father and mother dream of having one more child, Katerina too. [06:25.000 --> 06:28.000] I would like to have one more brother, I would really like it. [06:29.000 --> 06:30.000] Do you understand why you can't have one? [06:31.000 --> 06:38.000] I understand, because there is no money for the sustenance of that brother, it is already difficult for me. [06:39.000 --> 06:43.000] Difficult times that began in March with the announcement of the cut of the good of the family. [06:43.000 --> 06:51.000] We only made cuts, we were not going to eat out, we never went out of the country on vacation. [06:52.000 --> 06:55.000] Now it is even worse, now the holidays have to be spent here in Lisbon. [06:56.000 --> 06:59.000] From time to time we went for a ride, now it will not be possible. [07:00.000 --> 07:06.000] João and Aniceta have been working for 20 years in the biggest hospital in Lisbon, Santa Maria, they are operational assistants. [07:06.000 --> 07:13.000] The family budget is around 1.150 euros, it got thinner with the cut in subsidies. [07:14.000 --> 07:21.000] In subsidies, my wife and I, it was an average of 100 euros, which is a lot, for those who earn little, it is a lot of 100 euros. [07:22.000 --> 07:23.000] 100 euros was almost enough to pay for the condom. [07:24.000 --> 07:26.000] Every time we have more with the rope around the neck. [07:27.000 --> 07:33.000] If we don't say goodbye, I say this will get better, because I think quite the opposite, I think it will get worse. [07:33.000 --> 07:39.000] The Christmas of the Diaz family was this year the most contented and Catarina went out once again to lose. [07:40.000 --> 07:46.000] Everything we earn and everything we can improve is for her, for books, so only this year it was 250 euros for books. [07:47.000 --> 07:48.000] And we are talking about the eighth year. [07:49.000 --> 07:53.000] She does not come to activities, now at Christmas we had to offer her the clothes she needed, [07:54.000 --> 08:00.000] because she wanted some sneakers in a brand that she could not buy, because it had to be the clothes she really needed, it was her choice. [08:00.000 --> 08:02.000] And that's how we're getting there. [08:03.000 --> 08:07.000] Always austerity measures, increasingly more difficult to bypass. [08:08.000 --> 08:16.000] I take a detailed list, I buy only the essentials, all white brands, [08:17.000 --> 08:24.000] giving me and the white brands much less, for example, I go to the pharmacy, it's a lot of money, and I buy a lot of generic things, [08:25.000 --> 08:26.000] I have no money for the others, they are very expensive. [08:26.000 --> 08:31.000] In the past and in the present, the Diaz family spends time doing accounts, [08:32.000 --> 08:34.000] lately they are always subtracted. [08:35.000 --> 08:40.000] Throughout this newscast we will hear the opinion of economists about our future. [08:41.000 --> 08:46.000] The first question is that almost everyone wants to do, after all, the end of the crisis is near or not? [08:46.000 --> 08:53.000] We need to see to what extent the animal can handle the treatment. [08:54.000 --> 09:00.000] We are giving chemotherapy, and this is a horrible treatment, much worse than the disease, [09:01.000 --> 09:05.000] and sometimes it seems worse than the disease, so let's see if the patient can handle it. [09:06.000 --> 09:14.000] 2012 will be an extraordinarily difficult year, I think 2013 will still be an extraordinarily difficult year. [09:14.000 --> 09:20.000] It may be the year that will mark the beginning of the end, it is not certain, and because it does not depend only on us, [09:21.000 --> 09:24.000] it depends on the international community, it certainly depends on the European community, [09:25.000 --> 09:31.000] it depends on the situation of the banks, that is, the capacity of the banking system, not only national, but also national, [09:32.000 --> 09:37.000] and in particular the national banking system, to be able to bring credit to the economy. [09:37.000 --> 09:44.000] Back to the world, in the passage of the year 2012, all the parties of the planet, further ahead, on Telejornal. [09:49.000 --> 09:54.000] The President of the Republic will speak to the nation, following this Telejornal, in the traditional message of the New Year, [09:55.000 --> 10:02.000] Cavaco Silva speaks for the first time, after having promulgated one of the most difficult state budgets since 2007, [10:02.000 --> 10:10.000] that the head of state has demanded results, alerted to the difficulties of the Portuguese and to a potential explosive situation. [10:11.000 --> 10:15.000] The Portuguese demand concrete achievements. [10:16.000 --> 10:21.000] In five messages, the same concerns, similar calls. [10:22.000 --> 10:27.000] If we go through the archive material, recalling the President's New Year messages, [10:27.000 --> 10:33.000] we can easily see that since 2007, Cavaco Silva demands a change, [10:34.000 --> 10:38.000] asks for results for the development of the country. [10:39.000 --> 10:47.000] I understand the feelings of those who have been unsatisfied, and I want a better Portugal. [10:48.000 --> 10:50.000] I share this dissatisfaction. [10:50.000 --> 10:56.000] He left this demand, but in the following year he was dissatisfied with the results obtained. [10:57.000 --> 11:03.000] In the 2008 message, he appealed to the government's dialogue to reduce conflict and tensions, [11:04.000 --> 11:07.000] and there was also this question from the President. [11:08.000 --> 11:18.000] I wonder if the income offered by self-managing companies will not often be enough to meet the needs of the people. [11:18.000 --> 11:26.000] They will not often be unjustified and disproportionate to the average wages of their workers. [11:27.000 --> 11:31.000] On the first day of 2009, a phrase that has prevailed over time. [11:32.000 --> 11:40.000] I must not hide that 2009 will be a very difficult year. Illusions are expensive. [11:40.000 --> 11:47.000] From the anticipation of a 2009 very difficult, to a 2010 equally difficult, [11:48.000 --> 11:50.000] to approach an explosive situation. [11:51.000 --> 11:57.000] With this increase in external debt and unemployment, which is joined by the imbalance of public accounts, [11:58.000 --> 12:01.000] we can move towards an explosive situation. [12:02.000 --> 12:07.000] There is precisely a year in the climate of electoral campaign that Cavaco Silva did not change his speech, [12:07.000 --> 12:10.000] nor did he anticipate the end of the difficulties. [12:11.000 --> 12:15.000] It is essential that we are united to face the difficulties that we face, [12:16.000 --> 12:20.000] and that, I repeat, will not disappear in 2011. [12:21.000 --> 12:24.000] At the beginning of 2012, Cavaco Silva will have to keep the same tone. [12:25.000 --> 12:29.000] The President of the Republic promulgated the State budget three days ago. [12:29.000 --> 12:37.000] In the last months, he was critical of some measures, such as the cut of subsidies to pensioners and public servants. [12:38.000 --> 12:41.000] He spoke in violation of the principle of fiscal equity. [12:42.000 --> 12:45.000] Tonight, the President speaks again to the Portuguese. [12:46.000 --> 12:49.000] A speech to follow up on this newscast. [12:50.000 --> 12:57.000] And despite the increases caused by the crisis, the new year is always marked with the inevitable increases of January. [12:57.000 --> 13:02.000] These are those that are defined by law, such as electricity, which will increase by 4%. [13:03.000 --> 13:05.000] The income will also be updated. [13:07.000 --> 13:12.000] More than a tradition, there are increases in prices in January that are defined by law. [13:13.000 --> 13:15.000] These are the services regulated by the State. [13:16.000 --> 13:21.000] In the case of electricity in 2012, the increase will be 4%, [13:21.000 --> 13:27.000] which means that a bill of 50 euros plus 2 euros is the second increase in three months. [13:28.000 --> 13:32.000] In October, electricity suffered a rise of 6% to 23%. [13:33.000 --> 13:36.000] Judith Gomes' bill almost doubled. [13:37.000 --> 13:39.000] A bill of 400 euros went to 700 euros. [13:40.000 --> 13:41.000] With IVA? Of course. [13:42.000 --> 13:43.000] And now this increase? [13:44.000 --> 13:45.000] I think this is shameful, I don't know how we're going to do it. [13:46.000 --> 13:47.000] I paid 49 euros and anything. [13:48.000 --> 13:49.000] Is it much more than you paid before? [13:49.000 --> 13:50.000] Of course it is. [13:51.000 --> 13:52.000] And now with this new increase? [13:53.000 --> 13:54.000] In January. [13:55.000 --> 13:57.000] Ah, now in January it will be increased again? [13:58.000 --> 14:00.000] We will start using oil. [14:01.000 --> 14:05.000] The increase will include almost 5 million domestic consumers, [14:06.000 --> 14:09.000] while for customers with a social tariff, the rise is about half [14:10.000 --> 14:15.000] and will include almost 700 thousand customers in the accounts of the regulatory entity of the energy service. [14:15.000 --> 14:18.000] For the maximum rate of IVA, the gas also passed, [14:19.000 --> 14:22.000] but the update in 2012 will only happen in the middle of the year. [14:23.000 --> 14:25.000] Increases also for those who have rented houses, [14:26.000 --> 14:28.000] all will go up in 2012, [14:29.000 --> 14:32.000] regardless of the changes made recently by the government. [14:33.000 --> 14:36.000] Defined by law is also the increase in the price of rents. [14:37.000 --> 14:40.000] In 2012, the rise will be 3.2%, [14:41.000 --> 14:43.000] which means that in a rent of 200 euros there are 6 euros more, [14:43.000 --> 14:45.000] and 40 cents. [14:46.000 --> 14:50.000] Already in a rent of 500 euros, the rise will pay more than 6 euros. [14:51.000 --> 14:53.000] Paying 210 euros is more than 6 euros. [14:54.000 --> 14:55.000] Does it make a difference? [14:56.000 --> 14:57.000] It does. [14:58.000 --> 14:59.000] Especially in Germany, right? [15:00.000 --> 15:03.000] In the oldest rents, before 1967, [15:04.000 --> 15:06.000] the update can go up to almost 5%, [15:07.000 --> 15:10.000] and in this case, for example, the rise that pays 50 euros in rent [15:10.000 --> 15:13.000] will pay 2 euros and 40 cents more. [15:14.000 --> 15:17.000] I think it's a small repair that I can't do. [15:18.000 --> 15:19.000] I think it's very bad. [15:20.000 --> 15:21.000] There are a lot of people who don't have money to drink [15:22.000 --> 15:24.000] and they can't go to the street, poor people. [15:25.000 --> 15:27.000] Porta Bela is also made the increase of public transport in January, [15:28.000 --> 15:30.000] but in 2012 it stays the same for a month. [15:31.000 --> 15:33.000] It will happen for the second time in 6 months, [15:34.000 --> 15:38.000] after in August the prices of tickets and passes have risen by an average of 15%, [15:38.000 --> 15:39.000] but there are more. [15:40.000 --> 15:42.000] There are services that are not regulated by the State, [15:43.000 --> 15:44.000] but traditionally they are also increased at the beginning of the year. [15:45.000 --> 15:47.000] It is the case of mobile operators' tariffs in 2012. [15:48.000 --> 15:49.000] The increase will follow inflation. [15:50.000 --> 15:54.000] Customers will pay 3% more when using telemobiles. [15:55.000 --> 15:57.000] The image is of Filipe Martins and Alexandre André, RTP. [15:59.000 --> 16:00.000] The euro is 10 years old. [16:01.000 --> 16:03.000] Before the entry into circulation of the single currency, [16:04.000 --> 16:06.000] RTP was in the interior of Portugal [16:06.000 --> 16:11.000] to understand the difficulties that the populations at the time had to adapt to the new currency. [16:12.000 --> 16:13.000] Ten years have passed, [16:14.000 --> 16:17.000] we now return to the locality of Rio de Honour in Trás-os-Montes [16:18.000 --> 16:21.000] to see the changes achieved after a decade of single currency. [16:24.000 --> 16:26.000] In Rio de Honour, life has never been easy [16:27.000 --> 16:29.000] and Maria Júlia Rodrigues, from what I have heard, [16:30.000 --> 16:32.000] is convinced that it is not now that it will improve. [16:33.000 --> 16:34.000] Things are bad, right? [16:34.000 --> 16:37.000] I don't know what happened to the rulers. [16:38.000 --> 16:40.000] Ten years ago, when he was confused about the euro, [16:41.000 --> 16:44.000] he was preparing to receive the new currency. [16:45.000 --> 16:46.000] We don't understand the euro. [16:47.000 --> 16:49.000] We have to see how we are going to do it. [16:50.000 --> 16:51.000] Maria Júlia escaped the deception, [16:52.000 --> 16:55.000] but she feels that this money has never stopped her from running away from the wallet. [16:56.000 --> 17:00.000] Before, we used to save a lot of money, [17:00.000 --> 17:04.000] but now everything costs one euro, two euros, five euros, [17:05.000 --> 17:06.000] and there goes two hundred, [17:07.000 --> 17:09.000] four hundred, five hundred euros, it has been once. [17:10.000 --> 17:11.000] Life is more expensive now than before, [17:12.000 --> 17:13.000] in the sense that it is more expensive. [17:14.000 --> 17:16.000] Come on, Fernando! [17:17.000 --> 17:18.000] 22 kilometers from Bragança, [17:19.000 --> 17:20.000] in a village crossed in the middle of the border with Spain, [17:21.000 --> 17:24.000] everyone was already used to wearing shields and socks. [17:26.000 --> 17:28.000] And after almost two decades emigrated to France [17:28.000 --> 17:30.000] and with many accounts dedicated to life, also in francs, [17:31.000 --> 17:34.000] ten years ago, Domingos Francisco, more than the euro, [17:35.000 --> 17:36.000] hesitated who was going to use it. [17:37.000 --> 17:39.000] In France they were also francs, there were also cents, [17:40.000 --> 17:41.000] which in France they did not deceive anyone. [17:42.000 --> 17:44.000] And here in Portugal they are very real. [17:46.000 --> 17:48.000] The Portuguese are very cunning. [17:52.000 --> 17:53.000] It was time for Mass. [17:54.000 --> 17:56.000] Father Pedro Simões announced the arrival of Christmas. [17:56.000 --> 17:59.000] The first Christmas of this new millennium. [18:00.000 --> 18:01.000] And also the arrival of the new currency. [18:02.000 --> 18:04.000] The Church helped a lot to exchange the euro in mutes, [18:05.000 --> 18:07.000] mainly in the countryside of the country. [18:08.000 --> 18:10.000] I have a little fear, precisely in the villages, [18:11.000 --> 18:13.000] the more in the countryside it is, as is the case with this one, [18:14.000 --> 18:16.000] the more confusion it makes precisely to people, [18:17.000 --> 18:19.000] it is no longer in shields, because it is already in euros, [18:20.000 --> 18:21.000] will they steal from us? [18:21.000 --> 18:23.000] Rio de Honour was in the past, [18:24.000 --> 18:25.000] now the priest is in the Parish of Vimioso. [18:26.000 --> 18:28.000] In life, as in economics, a lot has changed. [18:29.000 --> 18:32.000] Ten years ago, it is an economic and financial scenario [18:33.000 --> 18:37.000] that has presented us with a total uncertainty, [18:38.000 --> 18:40.000] which is even talked about in the probability [18:41.000 --> 18:44.000] of going back to the escutcheon. [18:45.000 --> 18:46.000] Now we are used to it again, [18:46.000 --> 18:50.000] that they let us be, that we are fine too. [18:51.000 --> 18:53.000] Two hundred shields, two hundred shields, [18:54.000 --> 18:55.000] and here I have the Spanish. [18:56.000 --> 18:58.000] Ten years ago, the first times of the new currency were feared, [18:59.000 --> 19:02.000] now it is feared that the time of the euro is coming to an end. [19:03.000 --> 19:06.000] So, a decade later, the euro is threatened, [19:07.000 --> 19:10.000] it will be 2012, the last year of the European single currency, [19:10.000 --> 19:15.000] let's know what the economists think. [19:18.000 --> 19:19.000] I think it is not likely, [19:20.000 --> 19:21.000] I think the euro will be stronger than this crisis, [19:22.000 --> 19:23.000] because this crisis has an advantage, it shows the bottom of the hole, [19:24.000 --> 19:26.000] that is, if the euro ends, even if it is a part of the euro that ends, [19:27.000 --> 19:28.000] in some countries that leave, [19:29.000 --> 19:30.000] it will be a catastrophe in such a great way, [19:31.000 --> 19:32.000] for everyone, for those who stay inside, for those who are outside, [19:33.000 --> 19:35.000] and even for the neighbors, the United States, Great Britain, etc., [19:36.000 --> 19:37.000] that people, none of them will believe. [19:37.000 --> 19:40.000] I think that one of the few things that we can be sure of in relation to 2012, [19:41.000 --> 19:42.000] is that the euro will not end. [19:43.000 --> 19:47.000] It would be very harmful to all countries, including Germany, [19:48.000 --> 19:50.000] and therefore, no one is interested in such a thing, [19:51.000 --> 19:52.000] the European Union itself would be at fault, [19:53.000 --> 19:56.000] and therefore, it is absolutely certain that the euro will not end. [19:57.000 --> 20:00.000] 2012 will also be a more difficult year for culture, [20:01.000 --> 20:03.000] and in particular for the main theatre companies, [20:03.000 --> 20:07.000] cuts in expenses and subsidies forced them to rethink what was planned, [20:08.000 --> 20:13.000] and in addition, the producers will have to face the rise of IVA in the shows. [20:14.000 --> 20:18.000] It is time to raise the glass to our good star. [20:19.000 --> 20:20.000] The year 2012 begins at the Conecópia Theatre, [20:21.000 --> 20:24.000] with a challenge to put the thousands of faithful spectators, almost 40 years old, [20:25.000 --> 20:26.000] to the work of the company. [20:26.000 --> 20:31.000] We are going to ask the public if they would be willing to contribute [20:32.000 --> 20:34.000] to the existence of the Conecópia Theatre, [20:35.000 --> 20:36.000] with a monthly fee, [20:37.000 --> 20:41.000] and that it does not go, let's say, to the closure of the company itself. [20:42.000 --> 20:45.000] Of the € 423,000 received by the company of the Secretary of State of Culture, [20:46.000 --> 20:49.000] only the fixed expenses of a staff of 14 people are left, [20:50.000 --> 20:51.000] € 10,000. [20:52.000 --> 20:53.000] The cut in relation to last year, [20:53.000 --> 20:55.000] which was already cut, is € 130,000. [20:56.000 --> 20:58.000] The subsidy allows the company to continue to exist, [20:59.000 --> 21:01.000] but it continues to exist in a very reduced way, [21:02.000 --> 21:05.000] which, if a situation of this kind continues for a long time, [21:06.000 --> 21:11.000] it means that the company will end up appearing that it does not deserve so much subsidy. [21:12.000 --> 21:14.000] In Almada, in the Municipal Theatre, the scenario is repeated, [21:15.000 --> 21:18.000] and here there is still to ensure the maintenance of the largest theatre festival in the country. [21:18.000 --> 21:22.000] At this moment, there is no funding from DG Artes for the realization of the Almada Festival, [21:23.000 --> 21:26.000] and, therefore, this is the great gap, [21:27.000 --> 21:29.000] and it is for the organization of the festival that we are trying, at this time, [21:30.000 --> 21:32.000] to have funding and find other ways of financing. [21:33.000 --> 21:35.000] The attitude is not to give up, [21:36.000 --> 21:40.000] but to try that the 7 percentage points of the increase in the VAT do not take the public away. [21:43.000 --> 21:44.000] One of the scenarios is that, [21:44.000 --> 21:48.000] well, let's stop, let's do less shows, because the situation is black. [21:49.000 --> 21:52.000] I think that's completely wrong, the economy has to be dynamized. [21:57.000 --> 21:59.000] The Coldplay in Porto and the Optimus Alive [21:59.000 --> 22:14.000] are among the dozens of bets of Alvaro Covões' company for the first semester. [22:15.000 --> 22:18.000] Dakar Rally starts with one dead, [22:18.000 --> 22:29.000] the young motard died after a serious fall. [22:30.000 --> 22:33.000] The Patriarch of Lisbon says that 2012 will be a difficult year, [22:34.000 --> 22:37.000] but he appealed to the Christians to fight against the difficulties. [22:38.000 --> 22:43.000] Don José Policarpo says that it is necessary not to create panic and be supportive. [22:43.000 --> 22:48.000] On the day that the world signs peace and the Catholic Church also, Santa Maria, [22:49.000 --> 22:55.000] the Patriarch of Lisbon spoke about the year that now begins and announces as difficult. [22:56.000 --> 23:00.000] Don José Policarpo warns to the need to resort to all forces to fight [23:01.000 --> 23:04.000] and, quoting the Pope, makes an appeal, above all, to young people. [23:04.000 --> 23:12.000] In the face of difficulties, do not let yourself be invaded by discouragement, [23:13.000 --> 23:19.000] do not be afraid to push yourself, to face fatigue and sacrifice. [23:20.000 --> 23:22.000] And the Christian does not panic. [23:23.000 --> 23:28.000] The difficulties are real, more or less we all know them, [23:28.000 --> 23:33.000] in nature they are, it is also certain that they are especially the poorest [23:34.000 --> 23:37.000] who already were and who will suffer more the consequences, [23:38.000 --> 23:41.000] although the measures have been taken. [23:42.000 --> 23:47.000] It has, in principle, this social group, but it is necessary not to create panic, [23:48.000 --> 23:51.000] because these difficulties are current, [23:52.000 --> 23:55.000] at this moment it has to surprise us in a certain way, [23:55.000 --> 23:59.000] that with the entry in the European Union, with the entry in the single currency, [24:00.000 --> 24:04.000] with the development model that Europe proposes to us [24:05.000 --> 24:09.000] and that we think that we create expectations of the model of life, [24:10.000 --> 24:14.000] which have been regulated, it is impossible to continue. [24:15.000 --> 24:19.000] Creativity and sharing are, therefore, now, he says, necessary. [24:19.000 --> 24:23.000] The Pope dedicated the first day of 2012 to world peace. [24:24.000 --> 24:27.000] Bento XVI underlines the importance of educating young people [24:28.000 --> 24:31.000] so that they can build lasting peace. [24:33.000 --> 24:37.000] The future of the world is in the hands of children and young people, [24:38.000 --> 24:40.000] repeated this morning by Pope Bento XVI. [24:41.000 --> 24:44.000] At the Mass of the New Year, which was celebrated at the Basilica of St. Peter [24:45.000 --> 24:46.000] and then during the Angelus, [24:46.000 --> 24:50.000] the leader of the Catholic Church underlined the importance of education. [24:51.000 --> 24:55.000] Young people look today with a certain apprehension to the future, [24:56.000 --> 25:01.000] manifesting aspects of their life that deserve attention, [25:02.000 --> 25:06.000] such as the desire to receive a training [25:07.000 --> 25:12.000] that prepares them in a deeper way to face reality, [25:12.000 --> 25:18.000] the difficulty of forming a family and finding a stable job. [25:19.000 --> 25:23.000] The Vatican dedicates the first day of 2012 to world peace. [25:24.000 --> 25:27.000] Bento XVI did not speak of specific conflicts, [25:28.000 --> 25:31.000] he only referred to the shadows that reign over humanity. [25:32.000 --> 25:35.000] He said that young people will be the builders of peace [25:36.000 --> 25:40.000] if they teach them the value of respect, dialogue and understanding. [25:40.000 --> 25:44.000] From today on, Hungary has the highest IVA in the European Union. [25:45.000 --> 25:49.000] The tax on added value goes from 25% to 27%. [25:50.000 --> 25:54.000] The rise in the tax was decided by the conservative government of Viktor Orbán. [25:55.000 --> 25:59.000] Hungary has also been facing a serious financial crisis. [26:00.000 --> 26:03.000] The government asked for preventive support to the International Monetary Fund [26:04.000 --> 26:08.000] and the European Commission, but negotiations are suspended. [26:08.000 --> 26:10.000] Negotiations are suspended. [26:14.000 --> 26:16.000] Sporting will play tomorrow in Vila do Conde, [26:17.000 --> 26:18.000] with Rio Ave for the Liga Cup. [26:19.000 --> 26:21.000] Domingos Paciência wants to start the new year winning, [26:22.000 --> 26:24.000] without thinking about the next game, which will be with Porto. [26:25.000 --> 26:29.000] The coach of the Lions expects 2012 to be the year of success. [26:30.000 --> 26:32.000] When they arrived at the Alcochete Academy, [26:33.000 --> 26:35.000] the Sporting players received a message of confidence for the new year, [26:35.000 --> 26:37.000] put by a group of fans. [26:38.000 --> 26:42.000] It is a message that aims to be inspiring and has an echo in the ambition and desires of Domingos Paciência. [26:43.000 --> 26:45.000] Everyone wants to be successful and 2012, [26:46.000 --> 26:48.000] I hope it will be a year of success, [26:49.000 --> 26:52.000] within what we defined for this time, [26:53.000 --> 26:56.000] and therefore it would be a great honor for this to happen. [26:57.000 --> 26:58.000] Let's see, let's work for it. [26:59.000 --> 27:03.000] Still, Domingos has to point out the differences between Sporting and the rivals, [27:03.000 --> 27:05.000] with a metaphor of power and culture. [27:06.000 --> 27:09.000] It is a new team, a team that has just completed six months, [27:10.000 --> 27:12.000] they are now eating a thicker potato, [27:13.000 --> 27:14.000] like babies, [27:15.000 --> 27:16.000] they are going through a serial phase, [27:17.000 --> 27:19.000] and therefore it is natural that there is still a lot to grow. [27:20.000 --> 27:22.000] Sporting is still at the forefront, [27:23.000 --> 27:25.000] in January they play seven games for the three national tournaments. [27:26.000 --> 27:27.000] After Rio Ave, they receive Porto for the Liga, [27:28.000 --> 27:29.000] but on Sundays everyone wants to think about a game, [27:30.000 --> 27:31.000] each time without facilitating. [27:31.000 --> 27:33.000] The approach has to be serious, [27:34.000 --> 27:35.000] with the best, [27:36.000 --> 27:37.000] and that's what's going to happen, [27:38.000 --> 27:40.000] that's what's going to happen to me and the team, [27:41.000 --> 27:42.000] because there is no other way of thinking, [27:43.000 --> 27:46.000] even because the games give or take confidence, [27:47.000 --> 27:48.000] and I want to gain confidence in this game, [27:49.000 --> 27:50.000] and to gain confidence you have to win this game. [27:51.000 --> 27:52.000] For Vila do Conde there are three news, [27:53.000 --> 27:54.000] Ismaelov and Matias Fernandes return from Lesões, [27:55.000 --> 27:57.000] Elias returns after completing a game of punishment. [27:57.000 --> 28:00.000] In addition to the internal reinforcements, more players may arrive, [28:01.000 --> 28:03.000] Sporting is still about to announce the Chandão headquarters, [28:04.000 --> 28:06.000] and on Sunday another advance is expected. [28:07.000 --> 28:09.000] Benfica play on Tuesday in Guimarães, [28:10.000 --> 28:11.000] against Vitória, [28:12.000 --> 28:14.000] a challenge of the first day of the group stage of the Liga Cup. [28:15.000 --> 28:18.000] Jorge Jus is going to count on Maxi Pereira, Luizão and Garay, [28:19.000 --> 28:20.000] who recovered from injuries, [28:21.000 --> 28:22.000] so they train together. [28:23.000 --> 28:25.000] Miguel Vitor continues to deliver to the medical department, [28:25.000 --> 28:27.000] Enzo Pérez continues in Argentina, [28:28.000 --> 28:29.000] but the case may have a peaceful outcome, [28:30.000 --> 28:32.000] at least more peaceful than expected. [28:33.000 --> 28:35.000] The player's manager guarantees that he has already spoken with Luís Felipe Vieira, [28:36.000 --> 28:39.000] and that the athlete will return soon to join the team. [28:41.000 --> 28:43.000] It is already a tradition of the first day of the year, [28:44.000 --> 28:46.000] Porto opened the doors of training to the fans, [28:47.000 --> 28:50.000] and the result was more than 10,000 people in the stands. [28:50.000 --> 28:54.000] So many people went to the opening of an additional stand. [28:56.000 --> 28:58.000] As for the training, Walter is still absent, [28:59.000 --> 29:03.000] the Brazilian forward must be lent to the Cruzeiro de Belo Horizonte, [29:04.000 --> 29:06.000] who also did not arrive from Brazil was Danilo. [29:12.000 --> 29:14.000] Pinto da Costa guarantees that none of the important players [29:15.000 --> 29:17.000] will leave the Porto football club in January, [29:17.000 --> 29:19.000] in an interview with the newspaper Notícias, [29:20.000 --> 29:21.000] the president of the Dragons says that he expects [29:22.000 --> 29:27.000] that no one pays the 100 million euros necessary to buy Hulk. [29:29.000 --> 29:31.000] If you want to take him, pay first. [29:32.000 --> 29:36.000] Hulk only says goodbye to the Dragon if you deposit 100 million euros in the account, [29:37.000 --> 29:39.000] the astronomical amount of the decision clause. [29:40.000 --> 29:44.000] And what Pinto da Costa really wants is that no one remembers doing it. [29:44.000 --> 29:50.000] I hope no one pays, but I do not admire that one day someone pays. [29:51.000 --> 29:53.000] Now, I wish I did not pay. [29:54.000 --> 29:56.000] Victor Pereira said some time after the President's guarantee [29:56.000 --> 30:13.000] that the important players will leave the Porto football club in January.
