The vicious circle

The article addresses the appointment of new "boys" (a derogatory term used to refer to political hangers-on) to positions at RTP, the Portuguese public television.

The text suggests that these new appointees will be received discreetly ("de mansinho") to enjoy the benefits and resources of the public station.

The expression "mesa farta" indicates there are significant advantages associated with these appointments, while the term "vicious circle" implies a recurring pattern of political appointments in public media.

The article has a critical tone regarding the practice of appointing political supporters to positions at RTP, suggesting that this dynamic repeats itself continuously.
