PORTUGAL TURNS RIGHT

After the election with the biggest vote abstention (4 million people in a country of 10 million) in the whole country’s history, Portugal elected a new right wing social democrat government.

The rain persists in staying lately, tourists are not as many as before, and the people seem generally lost and tired. EU winds of calm and peacefulness  are long gone and the weather, sea and good beer don’t seem good enough anymore to guarantee the typical positive mood and warmth of its people.

Let’s wait and see what the future brings, not only to this country but to this brotherhood that Europe tried for so long and with so much effort, to be.
