Austerity rejection a \\\'huge frustration\\\': Portugal PM
Monday, 2 June 2014
LISBON, June 1 (AFP): Portugal's prime minister on Saturday vowed to overcome the "huge frustration" posed by the constitutional court's rejection of austerity measures in Lisbon's 2014 budget.
Portugal's highest court on Friday turned down three out of four measures brought in by the centre-right government as part of ongoing cutbacks after the country exited an international bailout two weeks ago.
The government will not respond in haste to this situation because it is complex and does not have a simple solution.
