Watching news is so damn frustrating….

One minute the high representative of Portuguese Bank says the economy is walking to a dark future where foreign debt is reaching danger values and Portugal should take measures to avoid collapsing.

This is supported by the so called “spring economical report” and is also in the last official speech of Republic President…

The next minute, finance minister says live in TV to all country that “well, this proves we are doing well and is not bad as we thought”….

Damn… what is this about?

Lying? Ignorance? Throwing sand to people’s eyes? Being just dumb?

We can feel and see how bad is our economy going… we can see our friends losing their jobs, others flying out hopping to find an opportunity overseas…

But seems this reality is not reaching politicians in the same way. They continue to rule with their fancy expensive cars, all costs covered and a lot of other goodies that we pay… and we pay without being asked if we want to pay.

If was not a real concern living here, it would be a funny script for the English soap opera “Yes, Prime minister”

Today, our government is spending a full day on Parliament discussing Single Sex Marriage (SSM).


I have no objection at all that gays can get married. But I do disagree that our 230 parliament members, are wasting thousands of euros discussing this for the last 4 weeks, when in the same exact day, more 500 persons turned unemployed.


Exactly when Portugal is struggling for money, jobs, health, justice and much more... politicians are just busy discussing if two persons with the same sex should or should not get married.... damn!

Why politicians tend to get distracted or ignore the real problems and discuss fancy problems?


Thousands are living daily nightmares with no money, no food, no job... no solution for their lives... and our very expensive and corrupt government is spending our money, our time, our patient discussing SSM.


... yep, its the real picture here in the north of Africa.
