No, our money doesn't grow on trees

Observador11 September 2026 at 08:40

The article's title, "No, our money doesn't grow on trees," suggests a reflection on the management of public financial resources.

The article mentions three distinct figures: a judge related to the Sócrates case, described as someone who doesn't want any time wasted; Fenprof, a teachers' organization that criticizes the minister; and the President of the Medical Association, who expresses opposition to increasing the number of vacancies.

These three parties are presented satirically as "the Good, the Bad and the Ugly," in a reference to the classic structure of western films.

The article appears to criticize the posture of different groups who, despite representing different areas, demonstrate resistance to changes or decisions involving the use of public funds.
