A country with more people, but increasingly unequal

Diário de Viseu1 September 2026 at 12:45

Portugal lives an apparent demographic paradox. We have never been so many: we are today about 11.4 million inhabitants, the highest value ever. However, this population growth does not translate into a more equitable distribution of wealth or opportunities.

Inequality has been increasing in the country, even with the increase in the number of inhabitants. This phenomenon raises questions about how demographic growth is not necessarily associated with better living conditions for all citizens.

The article explores this contradiction between the growing number of people and the worsening of social asymmetries in Portugal, suggesting that population growth alone does not resolve the structural problems of Portuguese society.

"I was happier with pennies": Amélia won €51,000,000 on EuroMillions and admits she preferred when she had little money

Amélia de Jesus, a EuroMillions winner in 2008 with a prize of 51 million euros, admits almost two decades later that fortune has not always brought her happiness, confessing she "was happier with pennies." The Euromillionaire from Marco de Canaveses continues to live in her hometown, Ariz, and laments that many people approach her only because of the money, leaving the message: "Anyone who comes for the money gets a banana." Over the years, she has spent on luxury cars such as a customized Ferrari, houses and jewelry, having also lost money in car transactions. Her second marriage was marked by a court dispute in which she claimed she was pressured to transfer 13 million euros to her former partner, although today she says "he is a good man." Currently single, she prepares her own funeral in advance, which includes an Amazon coffin worth 200 thousand euros, but assures: "I don't want to die just yet."
