Luís Campos e Cunha, o ministro das Finanças com o mandato mais curto nos governos eleitos desde 1974, recebeu o i no seu gabinete na Faculdade de Economia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Ao longo de uma hora e meia de entrevista, o economista e ex-ministro de José Sócrates sublinhou o seu desânimo face à situação política e económica portuguesa, fazendo um julgamento impiedoso do governo a que já pertenceu, assim como da oposição. A moral da história, segundo Campos e Cunha, alinha na opinião cada vez mais ventilada no país: das próximas eleições legislativas dificilmente sairá uma alternativa política viável.
