Summary:

  • Banco de Portugal will not cover the salary of Hélder Rosalino as the new Secretary-General.

  • The government claims it represents a financial saving despite his high salary.

  • The decision follows a recent legislative change.

Banco de Portugal's Decision

The Banco de Portugal (BdP) announced that it will not pay the salary of Hélder Rosalino as the upcoming Secretary-General of the Government. However, the government insists that hiring Rosalino, who will continue earning over 15,000 euros previously received at BdP, represents a financial saving for the public purse.

Government's Justification

In response to inquiries from PÚBLICO, an official source from the government stated that the chosen solution allows for a significant saving for public finances, regardless of which public entity is responsible for the payment. This decision comes shortly after a change in legislation made just three days prior to the announcement.
