But the cause was that our creditors, the so-called Troika (the European Commission, the European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund), made clear that they would close down our banking system to force our government to accept a fresh extend-and-pretend loan agreement.
A causa, porém, residiu no facto de os nossos credores, a chamada Tróica (a Comissão Europeia, o Banco Central Europeu e o Fundo Monetário Internacional), deixarem claro que iriam encerrar o nosso sistema bancário para forçar o governo a aceitar um novo acordo de financiamento “extend-and-pretend” (prolongar e fazer-de-conta).
