It's not because it's my country, but since this was on foreign news, i decided to put it here.

So, our piss of **** prime minister gave a speech yesterday or something preety much saying " We have ****ed you up and we still have a few more things to **** you with"

This piece of **** (it's not actually his fault, it's the previous garbage who broke our country completely. We hate him because he agrees with FMI and Merkel and he's their pet.) cut our 13rd salary (we used to get paid for the 13rd month, like a xmas bonus. we cut that), our holiday salary (which was sort of a payment before vacation), and some other technical stuff... So , people now receive 500? for 12 months..

500 ? could be a lot if:
- the house rent didnt cost around 200 to 300 ? ( not capital or Oporto.)
- food: 100? (assuming you live alone....)
- car gas ( 60? a tank)
- water: 30?
- electricity: 60?
- phone: 10?
- ...

i'm not even putting everything here. you can cut on the car but if you buy a pass to freely walk on bus or underground, it will still cost around 30 to 40?.

So , how are we supposed to live with 500? a month? That's why it have been so many protests.

Now, the companies are closing (some) because chinese are taking over with cheaper things so portuguese people with a little shop will be force to close since they have no clients. Hence unemployment.

What really upsets us is that people who work for the state get so many perks and the ones who tried to settle with some shop of their own were cut on everything. (although it's changing now. We have nothing and they are going to have nothing as well if this goes on. Assuming they'e not corrupt

And they want to raide retirement age to 66??? wasn't 65 enough? and what for? to live on a minimum pension (100?)?? that still doesn't pay almost any of the expenses... not even the pills.

AND ALL OF THIS TO MAKE SURE EUROPEAN PARTNERS DON'T DOUBT THEIR COMMITMENT.... WHAT ABOUT US, YOUR CITIZENS, YOU PIECE OF GARBAGE???

assholes... assholes everywhere..
 
This is a very serious situation, not only for Portugal but for Europe as well... it stinks of dictature everywhere around here.
Honestly, they are totaly selling off our beautiful country, and they are razing the potential of it. Even our electricity services have been sold to chinese men.

This is a theme where I won't say much because it's gotten to a point where it totally pisses me off and saddens me deeply. I am so sad to even consider going abroad to make my own life but dammit, I grew up here for ****'s sake. I don't want to be forced to change countries. (Oh yes, one of our ministers once said that those who were not happy could just emigrate) -.-

Conclusion: UGHH...
