André de Aragão Azevedo Criticizes Microsoft's Restructuring Decision

In an open letter, previous government official André de Aragão Azevedo criticized Microsoft's choice to coordinated Portugal into a unused territorial cluster, “South MCC,” nearby countries like Turkey, Albania, and Greece. Azevedo contends that this move undermines Portugal's key significance in Microsoft's history and its solid ties with neighboring Spain.

He proposes a reassessment, proposing an Iberian cluster or a gather counting nations like Italy and Israel. Azevedo emphasized that Portugal has been a key player in Microsoft's advancement and ability improvement, and the rebuilding risks diminishing its independence and market relevance.
