Briefings
The article describes how European capitals like Lisbon and Paris have transformed into a monopoly game where buying property and hotels generates excessive income for those who merely pass through. It contrasts the violent, unreforged nature of Paris with the apathy of Lisbon, where political ignorance is openly flaunted. The text argues that the left is failing due to a collapse of social welfare, leading to a fractured continent where political slogans like 'Paz aos Barracos' and 'Quando o Sistema Falha Entramos em Batalha' reflect a society without future prospects. The author suggests the current chaos is a symptom of a failed welfare state, leaving only radical right and radical left extremes that cancel each other out.
