Portuguese Strike
My Portuguese friend said to me over a year ago, that Portugal will, sonner or later, be in a serious situation due to the chain of financial crisis. What he said is getting truth even though Portugal is still making effort to against financial collapse, unlikely the Greek mess. The new prime minister since last June, Pedro Passos Coelho seriously has to face this problem wether the country should bail out again or be financially collapsed, being fear with occupying the streets or square like some other countries, especially like the Wall Street one. In Porto, the north city of Portugal, the price of commodities are seemingly still cheap compared to other Mediterranean countries though the country is indicated at one of the top OECD countries.
I strongly deny the case of OWS(Occupy Wall Street) can be applied to this nation as the nature of Portuguese culture is inherently different from others. However they must solve public sector since tightened austerity seems to squeeze people's throat.
