We depend on a lot on big multinational companies that are closing teir factories and leaving the country, and for years and years farmers and fishermen lived on European funds, they should have used to improve their hability to produce quality products at controlled costs... it's structural and this problem in Portugal will take a long time to get solved. In the meantime they're building a new massive airport near Lisbon (which already has one) and they want to build a TGV train railways that are going to cost billions of euros so peolpe can save 30 minutes from Lisbon to Porto... |

I think we are all affected. My husband is an engineer and his job is very insecure at the moment. All our engineering is dying out here too. |
