PORTUGAL OF THE AMÉLIAS: HOPE IS SCRATCHED AWAY WHILE POWER SCRATCHES AWAY THE FUTURE

This editorial analyzes Portugal's socioeconomic situation using the metaphor of scratch cards and Euromillions. The article starts from the story of Amélia, a Euromillions winner of 51 million euros who continues to live modestly, to reflect on a society where many citizens see gambling as one of the few chances to improve their lives. The author criticizes the tax burden, housing costs, state bureaucracy and lack of competence in public administration, especially in the country's interior. He argues that Portugal needs political and administrative competence, not luck, and that the country must stop living waiting for miracles and start investing in serious policies that serve citizens, respect public money and create conditions for young people to stay.
