1st portuguese church has indeed too much media coverage, however the portuguese are not "lambs" some yes but not the majority, please do not portray them as such. I am far more worried about eastern europe than the north.
2nd Agis I can make a quick translation it's about after the fall of dictatorship how in less than 2 decades without a marshall plan, we alphabetised a country, we gave it sewers, and electricity, we went from a death rate at birth of 55,5 to 3,1 %, we went from 67 to 79 years of age had the average of life length. And also how money was also poorly spent, in car parks which have 41,3% of german made viatures, in electric car stations which were bought from the german which are yet to sell and deliver after all this years the electric cables to link to the viature batteries, a thousand millions of euros in submarines bought to the german, 675 millions to build soccer stadiums built in part by german companies… our trading every year gives 3 thousands millions of profit to germany, however in the last year we cut salaries, retirement pensions, subsidiary and social help, vacations, public organisms, health programs and education, we overtaxated our public services, grew our retirement age, taxes over salaries, consuption Iva, transportation , habitation, and anything that dared to move, we actually beat 2 records the greatest cut in spending and the greatest taxation in all the history of our democratic republic, however it seams that many still think we are party people always having fun, that we do not make effort or work hard enough, that we do not pay taxes... LET'S make this simple for you, we work 38,9 hours per week more than the german, we work untill we are 67 far more than the german, but should they not know that since we have 150 thousand people working there? We take 22 days of vacation to rest every year, less than the germans, we have less holidays than the german, the average wage/salary is 1171€ half than the germans, and we pay farrrrrr more taxes, and well yes we are the only 2 countries in europe to tax more than 50% of the weathy income of the rich, however you are rich in portugal over 80.000€ and in German over 500.000€, however we well doubled our imports of german products over the last 10 years, and our unemployment tripled, in 1990 germany unilateraly said that their external debt had expired, WE DID NOT PROTEST, in 2005 germany violated the limits in deficit and the EU forgave them of any sanctions...WE DID NOT PROTEST WE SUPPORTED THE DECISION.
This is a bit the very annoyed reponse the portuguese public is giving to Merkel the german chanceler after all her communications telling them to work or pay more taxes.
