Baku-APA. Portuguese Socialist Party Secretary-General Antonio Costa on Saturday accused the government of "dividing" the country, APA reports quoting Xinhua.
"At a time when the government most needed to unite the Portuguese ... it opted for division and constant confrontation," Costa said in an opening speech of the party's congress at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL) in Lisbon.
Costa added that the government had caused "uncertainty" and "unease" and had failed all its budgetary targets.
He also criticized the government for the country's high unemployment rate, which currently stands at around 13.4 percent.
The Socialist congress has been darkened by the recent arrest of former Socialist leader Jose Socrates for alleged fraud, money laundering and corruption.
