葡萄牙财政部长若阿金·米兰达·萨尔门托表示,葡萄牙政府正在寻求反对派的支持,以将该国国家航空公司葡萄牙航空(TAP)剩余的50.1%股份以13.51亿欧元(约合15.2亿美元)的价格出售给汉莎航空(LHAG.DE)。

The Portuguese government is seeking opposition support to sell the state's remaining 50.1% stake in flag carrier TAP to Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) for €1.351 billion ($1.52 billion), Finance Minister Joaquim Miranda Sarmento said.

葡萄牙政府于周三选中了汉莎航空对葡萄牙航空高达49.9%股份的12亿欧元出资方案,而其收购剩余股份的方案——以8.63亿欧元现金加上汉莎航空集团5%的股份作为交换——将完成葡萄牙航空的私有化。

The government on Wednesday picked Lufthansa's €1.2 billion bid for up to 49.9% of TAP, and its offer for the remaining shares in exchange for €863 million in cash and a 5% stake in the Lufthansa Group, would complete TAP's privatisation.

萨尔门托周三晚间对国家广播电视台RTP表示,这家德国航空公司的提议得到了少数派中右翼政府的支持,将造福这家国家航空公司和葡萄牙经济。

Sarmento told state broadcaster RTP late on Wednesday that the German airline's proposal, which the minority centre-right government supports, would benefit both the flag carrier and Portugal's economy.

根据一份政府演示文稿,汉莎航空提议的葡萄牙航空私有化第二阶段对这5%股份的估值为4.88亿欧元,可能在2028年中期之前完成。

According to a government presentation, the second phase of TAP's privatisation proposed by Lufthansa, which values the 5% stake at €488 million, could take place by mid-2028.

萨尔门托表示,本周与汉莎航空达成协议时,政府必须在议会中获得反对派的支持,而私有化第二阶段也同样需要反对派的支持。

The government, which had to secure opposition backing in parliament for this week's deal with Lufthansa, will need its support again for the privatisation's second phase, Sarmento said.

他说:“我们将评估第二阶段,但对于公司和国家来说,这是一个葡萄牙不容错过的绝佳机会。”

"We will assess the second phase, but this is an extraordinary opportunity for both the company and the country that Portugal cannot afford to miss," he said.

反对派社会党表示,政府谈论葡萄牙航空的全面私有化为时尚早,而极右翼的“够了”党则表示将首先审查任何第二阶段出售的条款。

The opposition Socialist Party said it was premature for the government to be talking about a full privatisation of TAP, while far-right Chega said it would first review the terms of any second-stage sale.

这位部长表示,这5%的股份将使葡萄牙成为汉莎航空集团的第二大股东,汉莎航空对葡萄牙航空的发展规划将为葡萄牙经济带来“更多的员工、更多的业务、更高的收入”以及“更大的效益”。他说,这项协议“将直接影响投资、就业、生产力和经济增长”。

The minister said the 5% stake would make Portugal the Lufthansa Group's second-largest shareholder and that Lufthansa's growth plans for TAP would bring "many more employees, much more activity, much higher revenues" and "far greater benefits" to Portugal's economy. The deal, he said, "would directly affect investment, employment, productivity and economic growth."
