Where are we now ?

It has been less than 2 months after Portugal thought to impress Mrs Merkel with top and wide and arguably excessive security on her official visit - with no official agenda - accompanied by a plane full of representatives of German corporations who conferred on the experience and benefits of a Berufsausbildungssystem. 

Today the Troika delegation which has been monitoring and advising Portugal on a sustaintable way forward to what local politicians call the end of a tunnel, presented an extensive report on ways and needs to cut on public spending, and in particular on .... indeed .... security forces and public education. 

I am late and still sceptical in the rows conspiracy theorists commenced formating about a year ago and probably also just too much of an optimist or an outsider to look negatively upon entries of non-sovoreign forces into what ceased being mere domestic issues quite a while ago.  I have to admit though that the apparent swiftness in action is intriguing and in contrast to what's been done locally so far.  I can also understand that the majority of the Portuguese population will take on David Bowie's advise and keep their fingers crossed any way, just in case.
