Ontem foram as eleições legislativas em Portugal, à hora que escrevo este post não sei nada àcerca de quem as ganhou! O objectivo destas eleições é escolher o partido ou partidos que irão sustentar um governo e quem será indigitado como Primeiro Ministro! Não posso dizer que a campanha eleitoral tenha sido extraordinária ou muito esclarecedora, acho, isso sim, que nos deram muita música!!
Yesterday were the legislative elections in Portugal, at the time of writing this post I don't know anything about who won them! The purpose of these elections is to choose the party or parties that will support a government and who will be appointed Prime Minister! I can't say that the electoral campaign was extraordinary or very enlightening, but I do think that they gave us a lot of music!!! I don't know if you know what I mean!!!
A prova de que este país está mal. E muito. Encontra-se num gesto que fazemos no quotidiano e que revela muito sobre a maneira como vivemos, aposto que vocês nem se dão conta quando o fazem! Já repararam que quando levantamos dinheiro no Multibanco só saem notas de 10 euros? Raramente saem notas de 20 euros! A nota de 10 é a segunda nota mais baixa do nosso sistema monetário!! Já se tinham dado conta desta música barata que nos estão a dar???
Proof that this country is in a bad way. It can be found in an everyday gesture that reveals a lot about the way we live, and I bet you don't even realise it when you do it! Have you noticed that when we withdraw money from the ATM, only 10 euro notes come out?Rarely do 20 euro notes come out! The 10 note is the second lowest note in our monetary system!!! Have you realised what a cheap song they're giving us?
Este simples gesto pode parecer sem importância, pois digo-vos que estão redondamente enganados! Este facto diz muito sobre a maneira como vivemos. Noutros países da Europa as notas que normalmente saem nas máquinas ATM são de 50 euros! Para nossa vergonha e de quem nos governa em 51 anos de democracia, é que não conseguimos passar deste fado dos salários de miséria e o custo de vida caro! Os salários baixos têm de ser muito bem geridos para que cheguem ao final do mês. O que isto significa é que os portugueses não têm dinheiro para levantar das máquinas de ATM... isso sim!!! E desta música gostam???
This simple gesture may seem unimportant, but I can tell you that you're sorely mistaken! This fact says a lot about the way we live. In other European countries, the notes that normally come out of ATM machines are 50 euro notes! To our shame and that of those who have governed us for 51 years of democracy, we haven't managed to move on from this fate of poverty wages and expensive living costs! Low salaries have to be managed very well to make it to the end of the month. What this means is that the Portuguese have no money to withdraw from ATM machines, that's what!!! And do you like this song?
O mais curioso, ou triste, dependendo do ponto de vista, é que quando isto acontece é urgente questionar o modelo económico, as políticas salariais e a forma como valorizamos - ou desvalorizamos - o trabalho em Portugal! E sim, esta música é mesmo muito má!!
What's most curious, or sad, depending on your point of view, is that when this happens it's urgent to question the economic model, wage policies and the way we value - or devalue - labour in Portugal! And yes, this song is really bad!!!

10 euros é a prova provada que os portugueses vivem no limiar da sobrevivência financeira!
Espero que destas eleições saia um governo ambicioso, porque ser o país dos mil euros de salário e das notas de 10 euros cheira muito a música... fúnebre!
10 euros is proof that the Portuguese are living on the edge of financial survival! I hope an ambitious government emerges from these elections, because being the country of a thousand euro salary and 10 euro notes smells a lot like... funeral music!
I agree that the 10 euro note is not symbolical, but a sign of economic collapse. Maybe I'm a pessimist, but for the last 15 years or so, I've had this feeling that the West is going toward an economical collapse. Another important proof of economic crisis is the immigration of people. This has been going on in Portugal for years, and in some European countries (Croatia included) as well. This is a sign of a very serious trouble. When people can't make a decent living in their own country, it's a problem.
Portugal is not a country for young people, they can't buy a house because the prices are outrageous, they can't even pay rent, and even if they have a university education their value is not recognised. So, as you say, they're forced to flee! It's not a country for old people either, pensions are below the level that allows you to live with dignity. The Portuguese are very peaceful, so they accept this situation as a fate from which they have no escape. But there is a sign of discontent in society: the radical right had its biggest vote ever, which is not a good sign either! Without the support of the United States, Europe will be much closer to collapse than we realise! Well, it's better to live one day at a time and not think too much about how the world is going!
Yes, I feel we are all feeling the squeeze where-ever you are these days. Thanks for posting your thoughts. Such a wonderful outfit. Love your photos of this location and You. If it's not worrying about the next natural disaster, you might be in..it's the government.
You're right, Marisa. Here, too, wages haven't risen as much as rents and the cost of living. More and more people are living below the poverty line. Often, these are families with children. The situation is sad.
Your long dress is beautiful, I love the colors. The photos are great. I wish you a very nice new week
Boa tarde. Uma excelente tarde terça-feira com muita paz e saúde minha querida amiga Marisa. Difícil opinar sobre a política de outro país. Mas seus looks são maravilhosos. O Museu Rebobina, para mim que sou brasileiro, é como se eu voltasse a minha época de criança. Acho que a maioria das crianças, acham que brincar é só através do celular.
Hi, dear Marisa, there are several things I wanted to discuss related to your topic, hope I won't forget them or I'll have to come back 😜 First of all, I hope the elections went well there and those that won will do good for your country. I don't know if you heared even if if you probably did because it made the news in many countries, there were the presidential elections in Romania, my country of origin and one of the candidates is a lunatic, pro Russia and pro Putin, intended to take out Romania from EU, a far right extremist with a hatred speech. He went to a tv channel in France and called Macron, France's president a dictator, said that France was having economic problems and was getting poorer and a bunch of idiotic and offensive things. I live outside Romania for almost 20 years now and never mengled in Romania's politics because I wasn't going to go back and it didn't seem right to me to vote and decide for them but in this case I was horrified and really afraid for what was going to happen. I got involved in campaining for the other candidate, an olympic winner in maths who had a PhD at the Sorbonne but who was seriously at risk because the other one received twice the votes he got ik the first run. In the the good prevaled because many great and important people got involved but those weeks were tremendous. Sadly, there no one used good music in the campaigns, it was very stressfull. I couldn't wrapp my head on anything else more than a few minutes. As for the 10 € note, that sounds peculiar but actually in Italy there are almost 2 years now or wven longer that the ATM gives almost only 20€ notes. I heared people saying that it happened because the only money in circulation were the small cuts because the people kept the money cash under the matress but it sounded quite exagerated to me. Anyway, there are great things going on on world's economy and not necessarely good things maybe that's where they got the inspiration for the song you mentioned. Hugs dear, wish a beautiful week!
