@@femcel_estia8013 Look, if you really have private companies and a free market, then those companies should not be able to compete if those prices are as high as you say. I hear Portugal has a lot of pressure on it's government, is your purchase tax higher? More tax on those companies (which leads to higher prices), carbon taxes? What's going on?

I remember that! I was listening to the match report on the radio.

Let me ilucidate you a bit,Portugal in 1983 was bankrupted under IMF custody.Portugal in 1978, four years after the first Revolution (74) had dobled his Economy to 28 Bilions€,without less than 97% of the 1974 territory but with 1980 PM assassination and high Oil prices went to Inflation Crisis.In 1983,Portugal had a value of 22 Bilion €,because the Lisnave Shipyards went down by the lack of big clients.Just in 1985 Portugal with a new PM,start to grow more,but always later in the Western Europe,because Political problems and distrust from our traditional European partners.Its a long story loaded of lies and more deception to Portugal.In the thinks that interest to us,always deception about West and im being soft as butter...A long story full of deceiving by your sides.UK,USA,Germany.But in that time France keep us going,im fully grateful about them at that time.But i now,the truth about our wise PM assassination,who had mastermind that,who paid and the training place in England.I know some about Real Politik and his means to achieve it.Relations between Portugal and the Western partners always been hard,fishy and tricky,believe me,if you mind,Sir.Sorry for my interference,i didnt mean to be rude.

Ok,you think that Portugal got better,but i know our bill and i tell you,maybe we a have a better look,but the real issue is that Portugal never in History had so few and never been so low profile.And Portugal loss since 1974, 2/3 of his Gold State Reserves,even it ranks at 14th in World Gold Reserves,lost half or more of his Heavy Industry and just achieved a better turistic rate,but that have different view angles,those jobs didnt offer any real benefits to the Portuguese but only for an huge mass of imigrants from Brazil and African countries.The State Social benefits are mostly to the minorities not for our people because those modernist Human Rights issues and foolish investments.In reality,the Portuguese Workers had a better lifestyle in the 90 s than in 2018,now even worst with the Covid Pandemic.Cost of living had rise 10% or more,salary a few,bureaucracy and State taxes had a boom,too.But in EU few can boost their economies,all have artificial economical grow,not real,but fishy and triky like in the past.Crockery,you know what i mean...? Im too bad in point other countries,mostly Euro Powers.But i read it.

@@MrKlipstarcala-te oh fascista

Don't believe any of the bs spewed by fascist remoaners. It's all lies. The portuguese economy struggled after the revolution because the Salazar regime had the economy addicted to the plunder in Africa and suddenly the source of loot ended. That's the truth.

ironic, isn't it?

The interviewer chose people who spoke English. It wasn't a random sample. I read that Portugal was one of the less educated countries in Europe because Salazar didn't invest in schools.

its not that surprising we have a 632 year old alliance with great britan so speaking english was and still is higly favorable

only a small minority spoke English. Because of Salazar oppression 60 %of Portugals population could not read or write. And definitely not speak English

erika hammer ramalho I disagree with you , nao sei se falas portugues por isso vou.te responder em ingles. Portugese education has always included foreign languages as an obligatory lesson ..especially in the Salazar era. The fact that there were indeed many illiterals , had nothing to do with that dictator.But it had everything to do with Portugese mentality of that era.You can still find Some illiteral people in Portugal, especially in rural areas. But he had definitly a part in the honger part , and prosecution and exhilement of hundreds if not thousends of oppossition members and Anyone suspected of anti-Salazar thaughts. It brought Portugal in a state of paranoia where you could denounce you neighbour to the PIDE ( Salazars secret police ) if you didnt like him and tell them he was a communist or a revolutionary, and he would be tortured and exhiled to one of the colonies. This was the saddest page of Portugese history , after slavery and colonizations off course.He was a racist, a dictator , oppressor without a doubt...But Education in Portugal under Salazar, was exemplary. We should have never killed Our king and his son.Viva a monarquia!!

The Colonial War in Africa made me curious about Portuguese history.

Because they know that all intelligent and educated people (unlike the people commenting here) everywhere in the world speak English. Regardless of what country it is. As you can see in this video it is true. Also, the reporter is a television reporter from a television station whose viewers are English. No point in broadcasting a program if your viewers dont understand whats being said.

Anglo-Saxon arrogance

Thats called "making a TV program" which was scripted, so they spoke to the intellectuals and it is easy to tell from their accents that they seem to have even learnt English at maybe top schools in England., ast hey have an R.P. accent. If it was a German TV program and they spoke German, it would have been the same. The "upper class" or educated class, spoke English. Just a fact

FYI, the bridge was built during the dictatorship & was then named Ponte Salazar after the dictator. The name was changed after the 1974 Carnation Revolution.

Yes,in fact.Wars are just loss but sometimes were needed,that one not for money or prestige but for our honour,we could hand up 97% of our past State,just for offenses to our people plus we never gave independences without fighting over it,was excessive i know,the human bodycount but we had been outraged in 1961 in Baixa do Cassange Massacre with thousands of Portuguese setlers dead.The modus operandi of the Rebels made our Leader take draconic measures,too.I had 3 uncles fighting there in Africa,only my father had stay as millitary in Portugal,only my father side,not all family.All those traumatic issues that i saw...😔

What you read online or on a book, is nothing compared to what you live. There was both positive and negative parts.

@@gonk534 The Revolution was stupid. Although the colonial war was unfortunate (Salazar would have been better off giving independence to Angola and Mozambique in return for joining a Lusophone free trade pact), Portugal has been worse off geopolitically and spiritually as a result of the 1974 Carnation Revolution. Portugal takes orders from Brussels and the Catholic Christian faith that defined and civilized Portugal has receded as it’s people have become indifferent and in certain cases even apostasized.

Depois, deturpam factos, culpando o próprio povo pelo analfabetismo existente, como se as pessoas tivessem dinheiro para mandar os filhos estudar e seguir para um curso superior. Não percebem que a pobreza material trás consigo a miséria de espírito que lhes poderia bloquear alguma mentalidade sobre a importância de estudar. Também se esquecem que uma mulher não podia viajar fora do país sem autorização do marido, muito igual ao que fazem os muçulmanos. O 25 de Abril não foi para fazer um país rico mas sim para acabar com a guerra colonial (íamos perder e bater em retirada tal como os americanos no Vietname) e para repor as liberdades democráticas.
