Vale a pena ler o que os EUA dizem de Sócrates, nos documentos da Wikileaks hoje revelados pelo El Pais. Além das reformas laborais, educativas e na Segurança Social, os EUA elogiam a diplomacia económica.

10. (C) PM Jose Socrates is a charismatic leader who worked  hard to improve his English in advance of Portugal's 2007 EU presidency. He relies on advice from a small circle of advisors and is a moderate Socialist who has been successful at co-opting or marginalizing the extremists in his party.
He also aggressively pursued his domestic agenda before assuming the EU presidency, achieving difficult labor, educational, and social security reforms. Socrates spends most of his time on the domestic agenda, leaving foreign policy largely in the hands of FM Amado. Economic diplomacy has been a cornerstone of Socrates' foreign policy and this government has strengthened ties with Angola, Libya, Venezuela, Russia, and China to expand Portugal's energy sources and export markets.
