There's a quote, usually attributed to the Roman statesman Julius Caesar, which goes like this: "there is, in the confines of Iberia, a people that neither governs nor allows itself to be governed". He was referring to what would later become Portugal.
The latest news about the country tells us this: a pregnant woman who is abandoned outside the hospital because the obstetrics service is closed due to a lack of doctors, a prime minister who has resigned because he is allegedly involved in a corruption case and a president of the republic who is being investigated by the Public Prosecutor's Office for allegedly favoring clinical treatment for a pair of twin daughters of a couple who are friends of his son.
It couldn't be better.
