Lisbon (Reuters) - Portugal denied Sunday that he is under pressure by the France and the Germany to find a rescue of Brussels and the IMF to mitigate concerns its debts, such as the Greece and the Ireland before it.
Saturday, the German magazine Der Spiegel said that the Germany and the France want to Lisbon to accept a plan of international rescue as soon as possible in order to prevent the spread of the eurozone debt crisis.
But a spokesman for the Portuguese Government has denied any these pressures by saying that the country is concentrated on the stimulate economic growth.
"Story (Der Spiegel) has no foundations, it is wrong," said the spokesman.
With Germany, a spokesman for the Ministry of Finance stated: "Germany is not push someone to accept a bailout."
Investors are increasingly concerned that Portugal will be unable to fund itself in the markets of debt, forcing them to obtain funding from abroad instead of this.
