true story: since yesterday portugal has no government, with an enourmous economic crisis and all subsequent ones.
it's all quite surreal what is happening and what people are feeling. noone really knows where it'll end, just that it'll end really bad.
yesterday all the deputees were to vote for a pack of measures supposed to benefit portugal. being the country on the edge, bursting in debts, the measures were harsh.
however, the opposition parties voted for against these measures and josé sócrates, the prime minister, shortly after spoke to the country presenting his resignation.
this means new elections - sócrates will be a candidate again - and very probably, the entrance of the international monetary fund in the country. the IMF in here means harder measures than the ones on the disapproved pack. IMF will lift the country up, but solely concentrating on its finances, not on its people. (acknowledging that all the previous measure packs )
let's see what happens. this is really crazy right now.
