I find it almost funny the whole country is celebrating liberdade day out here
while debt is not improving, govt services are delayed by years even, tax rules getting tightened etc
most country’s assets are sold, essential workers strike every few months
hormuz closure also a ticking bomb exposing energy negligence
housing at all time highs and highest cost per median salary
I could go on and on but is it really worth celebrating? is the whole nation stuck in that liberdade historical snapshot and never able to do anything as big or bigger going forward?

found out yesterday that folks can get mortgage here
with a big discount on the tax thats saving easy north of $10k
but
you have to legally sign that you will reside in the place for at least 6 years
basically bureaucratic handcuffs to stay in Portugal against your will
and government and banks end up making far more than this amount in that time
or else they may even take your apartment or force you to pay the whole tax
