Is portugal the sick man of europe???? Poor, aids, third world

They didn't have communism ruining their economy.
What's their excuse, poor genetics?

>>70548790
Actually they're doing pretty fine compared to greeks

eyyy look

the daily butthurt czech thread about portugal

>>70548863
They were soft socialist for a while after the seventies

>>70548790
Macau was portuguese just some years ago and Luxembourg is basically a portuguese colony.

Why is czechia so insecure?

Hello guys, what's going on in this th-

Free tip:

To make good bait you have to post something so stupid and wrong that everybody storms your thread and you can swim in (you)s. Also try to target countries with the most posters like burgers and leaves :-D

Still I like it :-D

>>70548790
>I czech the flag, its the czech flag
Opinion disgarded

>>70548790
Alright, I'll bite.
>Poor
Yeah, but not as poor as you'd think. We get paid in 14 months, which skews our statistics a bit. We also have a great NHS and some great infrastructure (2nd or 3rd best roads in the world) from having been rich all those years back. We also don't have Germany to leech from directly by becoming a tax haven and having cheap factories in prime real-estate.
>aids
Mostly the junkies in the 90's which is under control. New cases have normalised, and only the old cases (which are under treatment) are holding us back.
>third world tap water
Mostly memes. Although a lot of our water in smaller coastal cities tasted a bit weird from being de-salinised.
>criminality
More memes. We're like the 4th or th safest country in the world.
>ugly people
No u.

I'll even add a couple more:

>lazy
No, that's southern Spain. We mock them too. Portuguese professionals abroad are actually pretty fucking hardworking, I hear.
>why did they lose this or that
Shitty rulers. Late decolonisation isn't a good thing, we had to pay subsidies to our returned colonisers and make major adjustments to our economy
>why are they not Spain?
because they think 10-1 is good enough odds, but they are wrong.
>why are they black
Memes. We're not, we have 97% European population.
>why do they sound so different from Spanish?
Actually the memes here are true. We have a fair bit more Suebi influence in our language than Spain, and less Arabic words/sounds.

Any more questions?

If you want to bait a hundred people just ask why are Americans fake-nice. It works wonders.

Every state/private employee gets payed in 12 months + vacation subsidy + Christmas subsidy, so 14 months.

Companies are obliged now to offer the option of paying the Christmas subsidy in dividends along the year, which a lot of people take, but everytime you see "minimum wage" or "average wage" in Portugal, it's being divided by 14 and not 12 like most countries.

It's still not enough to compensate and be the same as Spain (our only neighbour), but it does bridge the gap a bit more.

I really don't get why people think that Portugal is eastern-europe-tier living conditions-wise. Most of the people with worse housing and such are just stubborn old people living behind the hills.

I'm not saying we're very advanced, but life in Portugal is very very comfy, if stagnant, and beats anything in Eastern Europe with the exception of new opportunities.

The current state will not allow this to continue for a lot longer, sure, but for now Portugal is a hidden paradise of quietness, calm and great cheap food and weather.

Looks like its 20% better here than in portugal

The thing is that the older parts of our country were never subjected to commienism, so they weren't ran down or destroyed.

They're old and beaten, but it's a rustic type feel, not the austere look of the ex-soviets or central Europe. Much like the poorer parts of Italy, landscape-wise (Spain is closer but its stereotypical landscape is a lot drier). Being a warm country also helps a ton, and Portugal is and has been very isolated from large wars for hundreds of years, and just endured a bunch of occasional invasions.

It's top comfy.

>>70549845
No its not, the government is 100% Socialist Party. There is a parliamentary accord between the 3 parties which is far from being an actual coalition.

>>70552277
>Socialist
This means Social-Democrat for foreign people. All our parties have their names shifted one seat to the left because of the right-wing years.

>>70552355
Yes, the Socialist Party has been a centre-left social democratic party since the late 70's. The communist party is still pretty much communist though.

>>70552458
Yes, but then they are the ones keeping the bullfighting going, and the ones that own the most private property.

Better than the SJW Bloc, but still.

I want to get out of this leftist cuck country

2006-2009. It's way lower now

>>70556509
No, even outside of /int/ I find that people are often surprised by Portugal's quality of living.

I feel like the westernmost eastern Europe countries (Czequia, Hungary, Slovenia) may have better capitals, but are even more centralised than we are, and the rest of the countries' are doing worse than our non-Lisbon cities.

Which pisses me off because there's a clear centralist mentality going on. Thank god one of the next elections candidates is gonna be someone from Porto, which might decentralise a bit if he wins, since Portuenses typically are more against Lisbon-centrism than other places.

CHECKMATE

>>70556858
Maybe, this is just my perception. I just had the feeling that it was more lopsided towards the capital in your countries, mostly because of war-damage over the centuries, whereas we have something like 10-12 medium sized comfy cities outside Lisbon or Porto metro areas.

But capitals are never comfier than 100k-200k population cities, anyway.

What the hell

V4 were thorougly raped by commies from all directions and angles for half a century while the Portugese were always a free country ruled by themselves, yet they are still poorer than countries who started with nothing but corruption and decaying industry in 1989.

Sad!

>>70557096
> while the Portugese were always a free country ruled by themselves

Ever heard of Salazar?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant%C3%B3nio_de_Oliveira_Salazar

You need to start doing your homework little Germany.

Portugal is in a weird geographical position where we will never prosper during peace times. We're to far away and are too few to be extended commodities or have easy trade routes or high population density advantages.

As such, we're at our top potential when Europe is at war, because we can simply just avoid it, and use the quietness differential to prosper.

Seriously, both the Protestant war and WWII were the times in history where we've gained the most money.

No company will build factories here unless our salaries drop do much that the extra transport price will be worth it, but then the country improves and the salaries rise and the transport never goes down.

We're also severely hurt by Iberia having a different rail gauge, so we can't have a port that rivals Anthwerp or Roterdam even though we do have the facility in Sines, because any rail transport would require a rail change. We could be the middleman for any Chinese/African/South American and even North American traffic otherwise.

>>70549764
have been there a couple of times, from the Spanish point of view:
>Poor
Better than the East Europeans but the worst in the West
>Aids
Not now and not that much
>third world tap water
Yes
>criminality
Is a safe country 4 tourist, they have pickpockets gypsies and all that south mediterranean thing
>ugly people
hairy women and darker than spaniards but are ok
>lazy
just like the average spaniard
>why are they not Spain
Spain don't want, they don't want, is better that way, the only region that is near to the spanish lv is Porto
>why are they black
Mediterraneans r tanned
>why do they sound so different from Spanish?
the average Spaniard can go there without knowing the language and can talk to all of them
Is a nice country and cheap, got lots of nice things and people and a great history, could be better, sure

>>70557996
>the only region that is near to the spanish lv is Porto
What, where like 60% of the population lives?

Besides Lisbon, the only population dense areas are from the Mondego up, where the quality of life is indeed better.

>darker than spaniards but are ok
I disagree. I feel like we're all paler and less tan than you (more rain and clouds where most people live and whatnot), even though the base skin is about the same.

Everything else you said is just about true.
