Portugal is under the floodlight

In Portugal, the general public opinion has no idea on how Portugal is being closely watched by the financial and economic worlds. After the newsflash that Greece was on the verge of bankrupt, the comparisons were immediate. And the word of politicians is measured exactly on its actual weight, the one of persons desperate to build a stronger image and to run away from looming dangers and responsibilities. The TV programs and news articles on the PIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Spain) financial situation succeed each other both in generic media and in economic ones. The attention that we can guess from the references to Wall Street Journal's articles is only a hint on that. And believe me, it is this attention and the way we show these media (and thus the financial and economical worlds) that we can handle this extremely explosive and dangerous situation that will determine the future of our economy - either as a strong developed country or as a trash bonds supplier.

if you are going to write in English, better review your phrasing.
