葡萄牙政府正在评估是否增加在石油公司Galp Energia的8%股份，经济部长周日表示，此举旨在保护包括该国唯一炼油厂在内的战略资产，此前该公司与西班牙公司Moeve的合并谈判破裂。

两家公司上周取消了其下游资产合并计划，原因是美伊战争使炼油厂从挣扎中的企业变成了抢手资产，导致长期合并估值难以确定。
The two companies called off a merger of their downstream assets last week as the US-Iran war turned refineries from struggling businesses into prized assets, making long-term merger valuations difficult.
部长曼努埃尔·卡斯特罗·阿尔梅达对公共电台Antena 1和商业报纸《Negocios》表示，合并破裂是“双方公司做出的决定”，并强调“政府完全尊重私营企业和私有财产”。
Minister Manuel Castro Almeida told public radio Antena 1 and business newspaper Negocios that the merger's collapse was "a decision taken by both companies", stressing that the "government fully respects private enterprise and private property".
不过，他补充说，政府已“履行了职责”，确保位于西内斯的炼油厂——葡萄牙唯一的炼油厂，也是一项战略资产——的任何所有权变更“对能源安全不构成风险”。当被问及国家是否可能增加在Galp的8%股份时，卡斯特罗·阿尔梅达没有排除这一可能性。
He added, however, that the government had "fulfilled its duty" by ensuring any ownership change at the Sines refinery, Portugal's sole refinery and a strategic asset, "posed no risk to energy security." Asked whether the state could raise its 8% stake in Galp, Castro Almeida did not rule it out.
他说：“如果我告诉你这是一种可能性，Galp的股票明天就会上涨。如果我告诉你这不可能，那我就是在撒谎。”他补充说，政府“将继续评估”这一选择。他的言论符合里斯本重新掌控战略资产的更广泛模式。
"If I tell you that is a possibility, Galp's shares will rise tomorrow. If I tell you it is out of the question, I would be lying," he said, adding that the government "will keep assessing" the option. His remarks fit a broader pattern of Lisbon reasserting control over strategic assets.
葡萄牙国有控股公司Parpublica从由中国复星集团控制的保险公司Fidelidade手中购买了电力和燃气电网运营商REN的5.3%股份，使政府在这家战略公用事业公司的股份提高到19%。
Portugal's state holding company Parpublica has bought a 5.3% stake in power and gas grid operator REN from insurer Fidelidade, controlled by China's Fosun raising the government's stake in the strategic utility to 19%.
Galp和Moeve（由阿布扎比的穆巴达拉和美国投资公司卡莱尔持股）1月宣布了一项不具约束力的协议，计划探索通过两家合资企业合并部分资产。
Galp and Moeve – owned by Abu Dhabi's Mubadala and US investment firm Carlyle– announced a non-binding agreementin January to explore merging some of their assets through two joint ventures.
拟议中的合资企业将把Galp的西内斯炼油厂与Moeve的韦尔瓦和阿尔赫西拉斯炼油厂合并在一起。
The proposed joint venture would have combined Galp's Sines refinery with Moeve's Huelva and Algeciras refineries.
