Let the cakistocracy work
Those who work and do well do not need to ask others to work. As a rule they ask you to work! When the Prime Minister chooses as a motto ‘lets Louis work’, I immediately remember that expression several times pronounced by those who are drawn to attention because they are bothering (very common when they stop traffic to unload goods) justify the expression ‘I’m working !!’.
‘I’m working’ and ‘let me work’ are generally disguise of weakness and incompetence.
Those who heard the wine mode as the current prime minister as the opposition leader solved all the country’s problems in months, after more than a year, he easily concludes that cachetococracy was installed in the presidency of the PSD and the government. For me it was no strangeness. I noticed the unpreparedness, very well disguised by the word, the day I met Montenegro and at the table the PSD secretary general spoke in the hypothesis « fabulous » of distributing the PRR equal to each Portuguese giving each one, amazing, € 1,000,000. At the time my question was simple: what note had had mathematics in high school… the president and secretary -general of the PSD (party with a very relevant contribution in the history of Portuguese democracy) showed in that small exercise not to make the slightest idea of governing. But the truth is that they both speak, talk a lot, say a lot, self-eloys permanently and want, by insistence, to believe that they know what they are doing, asking voters to let them work… too bad… more serious when the alternatives for May 18 are those who are. CAQUISTACYCOCIUM NOT only affected the PSD summit but also contaminated the political system much. This is, in my opinion, the greatest cause of Portugal’s inability to evolve. We are condemned to see the cachetocracy work.
The breach of electricity supply this week came to show that in the history of Portuguese engineering there is work very well done. It was this work of the past, which allowed it very quickly to restore normality in supply. It also came to demonstrate that in terms of evolution to a growing increase in energy needs, our dependence on foreign is, in my opinion, exaggerated. I also got the idea that there is no robust engineering plan for future evolution. Surprisingly the prime minister who has shown a huge allergy to audits (the case of his micro-business that stopped the country, would have been resolved with a mini-student), announces a European audit and independent technical committee to assess the resilience of the system. It’s case to say ‘do what I say and do not do what I do’… Luís Montenegro did not understand that the lead by example is the only one that prevails. Everything else is theatrical and little hard.
The day of the blackout also came to show that the government was unable to promote civility and did not use learning collected on COVID days to ensure equity in access to first necessity goods. The way it has allowed sagging to be exhausted at the points of sale a set of first -need goods is also demonstrating the absence of vision by the government. The high level of cachet, disguised with word and communicational insistence is also the mayor of Lisbon who, despite the annual budget of more than € 1,300,000,000 in the 2024 accounts to close with a deficit of € 9,000,000 in an increasingly dirty and chaotic city. Carlos Coinas’s management is of the most unforeseen one that has been watched in decades in the capital (and this words are written by a non -socialist). Despite the self -ease over the actions performed during the blackout (I could not understand which), Carlos Coins, once again, shows that it does not understand what is relevant in the management of a city that knows badly, as it fails as simple as the coordination of main crosses with municipal police, elements of civil protection or volunteers, in order to avoid the chaos that has been installed in traffic through the absence of traffic lights. Those who can’t do small things can’t surely not do the big ones. Also in Lisbon the cachetococracy insists on working…
