Se não fossem o petróleo e o gás líbios, se não fossem as riquezas naturais do feudo de Kadafi, que o ditador controlava e geria a seu belo gosto e prazer, as marcas das 270 mortes, provocadas pelo atentado ao avião da Pan Am, em 1988, essas marcas jamais teriam sido apagadas.
Em Portugal, o primeiro-ministro Durão Barroso abriu a porta. José Sócrates, assim que tomou o poder, em 2005, escancarou-a. Em menos de cinco anos, o primeiro-ministro português visitou a Líbia quatro vezes.
Certamente discreto, como convém aos que gostam de passar pelos filtros do poder, silenciosamente e sem atrito, lá estava Ricardo Salgado. O banqueiro integrou a comitiva na segunda visita oficial de José Sócrates à Líbia. E essa presença discreta terá servido de primeiro empurrão para que o banqueiro do regime se deixasse tentar pelos milhões que brotavam de tão extravagante geografia.
Oiça aqui o quarto episódio da Agenda de Ricardo Salgado, um podcast sobre 2268 dias de vida do velho banqueiro, originalmente publicado a 28 de maio de 2024.
