António Costa may soon discover that success brings its own problems.
Portugal’s proudly anti-austerity prime minister is ebullient after returning the former bailout country to fiscal health and presiding over a robust economic recovery. Lisbon is no longer in breach of the EU’s budget rules — a decision he calls a “turning point” for the country’s international reputation — and the economy looks set for its strongest expansion in almost two decades. Unemployment is falling at one of the fastest rates in Europe.
