epa02649573 Portuguese Prime-Minister Jose Socrates announces his resignation after the vote of the new Stability and Growth Program for 2011-2014 wich was rejected by the opposition in the Portuguese Parliament in Lisbon, 23 March 2011. The program is aimed at cutting the deficit to 4.6 per cent this year, from 7.3 per cent in 2010, and bringing it under 3 per cent by 2013. Socrates decided to step down after Parliament rejected his government's latest austerity package. The premier?s resignation came on the eve of a European Union summit on restoring market confidence in weaker eurozone economies such as Portugal. EPA/JOSE SENA GOULAO +++(c) dpa - Bildfunk+++
