Portugal is described as a country that got used to growing little, facing a persistent pattern of weak economic growth.
The article affirms that the blockages preventing the country's growth are known and identified, with no lack of knowledge about the existing problems.
The central issue pointed out is that Portugal has spent too much time pretending it lacks the courage to overcome these blockages, suggesting political and social inertia.
The text presents a critique of the country's posture towards its own economic challenges, indicating that the real problem is not ignorance of the solutions, but rather the reluctance to implement them.
