Portuguese Finance Minister talks to @richardquest

Here is an interview the Portuguese finance minister gave to CNN's Richard Quest on his show Quest Means Business.

Throughout the interview the minister expresses his feeling that the markets are overreacting to the threat of debt default on the part of Portugal, and that the recent measures taken by the Portuguese parliament to increase spending on regional budgets, that were approved by the opposition without support from the government can be prevented by using legal provisions that allow the minister to cut back on spending.

Portuguese short movies in Tallinn

Every now and then there are a couple of Portuguese movies showing up in Tallinn, either during the Black Nights movie festival  
or in some events organized by the Portuguese Embassy in Estonia. Usually the movies are shown at the Kinomaja, a small room with rather uncomfortable seats, but quirky and adorable in its name (Kinomaja roughly translates to cinema house).

This time, there are 3 short movies being shown

"Respirar (Debaixo d´Água)", António Ferreira (2000) - 45 minutos (www.zedfilmes.com/respirar.html)

"O Nome e o N.I.M.", Inês Oliveira (2002), 25 mins

"Quando o sol toca na lua", Pedro Palma (2001), 20 mins


The screenings start at 18h00 and the entrance is free
