The camping is short in the sleeves

The article reflects on the political situation in Portugal, drawing parallels with Eça de Queirós' "Os Maias". It critiques the imitation of foreign protests, particularly the Spanish model, and the police's intervention that turned demonstrators into martyrs. The author highlights the absurdity of the situation, where the media focuses on protests instead of addressing the pressing housing crisis. Despite the rising demand and costs of housing, the public discourse is dominated by superficial issues like camping protests. The need for serious discussions and structural reforms regarding housing is emphasized, as the country remains distracted by these imported trends.
